Did you know a rabbit would do this?

I haven't seen this posted before, but I had no idea a rabbit would do this to a snake. Having rabbits I knew they would swim, but this is much more surprising.

They should enter that on Funniest HOme videos.

I would have thought the snake would have eaten the rabbit first.

I never thought a rabbit would be the aggressor. That's some film.

Rabbits can be very aggressive if they want to be. We had an issue 2 years ago in the dead of winter. DD had two show Himalayan bucks and in a winterport garage with a dirt floor. Seems a mole dug up through the floor. Must have been annoying the bucks for sometime. Went out one morning and the metal door of one rabbit hutch was open and no bunny. DD was so upset. So I start looking around to see if someone stole them. Thinking it's the dead of winter and cold maybe he hadn't gone far. Well I found a dead mole and a show rabbit about 3 feet away looking pretty proud of himself. No bites on the rabbit and no broken bones from the 3 foot leap the rabbit took from the hutch to the floor, but the mole was pretty beat up. I guess when a rabbit feels threatened it will do just about anything.
This video show what we must have missed that night. Only looks to me like the snake got away and our mole wasn't so lucky Great video!

Wow, that was amazing! The rabbit was relentless.
Amazing reflexes, too, to be able to jump out of the way of snake strikes like that.

Rabbits have a MEAN bite that most people are fortunate never to experience. As a vet, I have, lol.

That video is one of the most hysterical things I have EVER seen. That, and the web rage cartoon with the guy banging his head to smithereens (I have it saved but can't figure out how to post it here).

I went out to my buns one day and there was this coagulated pool of blood in my Flemish bucks cage, my Flemish have wood bottomed cages. The pool of blood was about 5 inches across, and I was really upset, pulled my buck out and went over him with a fine tooth comb. No cuts, no scabs, no blood really on him at all except for his feet a little bit. I was dumbfounded, until my husband suggested that something could have gotten into the cage with him, and he attacked it and kicked its butt. Then he groomed himself, hence the very small amount of blood on him. It was freaky.
