That rabbit cry might be mistaken for a fawn being attacked.

Agreed that the momma didn’t care about the rabbit and would remove, chase off any preditor it was equipped to handle.

I bet snakes are easy to mess up with those killer hooves with some weight and anger behind them.

I mean, a deer helping a rabbit get away from a hawk sounds like the plot of a Disney movie, really.

Its only a Disney movie if the if the deer is homosexual (or at least questioning), the rabbit is a transgender immigrant, and the hawk is played with an authoritarian, Southern male accent.

Deer was eating the hawk. They’re not vegetarians you know.

It wasn’t about the rabbit, it was about food. The deer would’ve eaten the rabbit too if it could have caught it.

Rabbits have their place in the ecosystem of nature.

A conservation officer teaching a class of scouts once called rabbits "Nature's Hamburger Helper."

Yes, and obviously the hawk poses no threat to the deer, but the hawk very well might pose a serious threat to the deer’s babies!

If only that deer was around when Jimmy Carter attacked that rabbit.

“did the
deer eat what it killed?”

So a herbivore can’t defend itself from a predator since it won’t “eat what it killed”?

Calling an animal a “murderer” is just silly either way too. Only humans can commit murder, because only humans understand good and evil, so only humans can have malicious intent.

That all depends. Which of these, the deer, the hawk or the rabbit is LBGQT+XYZ?

If it's a Disney movie, at least one character has to be queer.

HA!
The Corn is mine! I built a stockade fence years ago to keep them out. Family, and friends refer to it as Stalag 13.

We were at a picnic table in the Sand Dunes National Monument when one of those little deer came up to the table. It flicked a deer fly off of the overhanging edge of our table cloth with its nose. The fly landed on the ground and the deer stomped on it. Couldn’t tell if it successfully dispatched the fly.
