As Californians suffer the devastation caused by wildfires that have burned through more than 100,000 acres, one man braved the flames to save a wild rabbit and instantly became the hero we didn't know we needed.
Video of the daring rescue shows a Ventura County highway near La Conchita engulfed in smoke and flames. An orange-and-black singed sky fills the screen.
But then, a wild rabbit darts across traffic and into the burning brush.
A man, stopped on the road and wearing just shorts and a hoodie, races after him. The rabbit is both out of reach and in danger.
That's when the panic sets in. The man clutches his head, jumps up and down, and paces anxiously, agonizingly trying to figure out how to rescue the creature from its burning habitat. In a last-ditch effort, he wades into the brush to coax the rabbit out from the fire.

Probably got fleas for his trouble.
Was this real or a setup? Who was filming him?
They dont know that. Plenty of animals die in these fires.
Well done
PETA should arrange a weekend for him with Emily Ratatowski
With ot without spaghetti?
Nice. Now go back and vote democrat again for mismanaging California and letting illegals start fires.
Lol
She’s a trip
Sometimes though she does the right thing
Her natural body is to die for
And her cute over bite
So lovely
hope this guy didn’t slow up traffic while trying to help wild rabbit. I can see stopping for a person, domestic animal or obviously hurt animal, but a wild one that is running away, guy could a clogged traffic endangering more people, or got himself burned or bit etc.
Burned rabbit would not be fit to eat
best to take it home and cook it right.
Yep you have to wonder.
Cottontails are very timid animals.
I predict that it will die of fright. However, being an adult, it may have a chance.
But the article postulates it may have been trying to get back to it’s bunnies. Like it says, just leave the damned wild animals alone. They know what to do.
He probably supports abortion but would die to save a rabbit. Last year my abortion rights niece stayed up with a beached seal until the tide came up. She would strap herself to a tree to keep it from being cut down. Protect an unborn baby? Never
1st time I saw this I thought, “This guy is a moron!”
I stand by my initial thoughts. “Faith in humanity”!? Really, really CNN!?
Not much fat on them, but they are delicious.
Our forests burn up while we import
Lumber, we have to save our forests
For events such as this.
I can understand that the man was frantic. He meant well.
God help these poor people, animals wild & domestic in their time of need. Dreadful.
Right, we ate Lots of them mmany years
years ago.
