Rabbit Fights Snake: Rabbit Beats, Jump Kicks Snake For Attacking Babies

A rabbit fights a snake in this now-viral video — beating, kicking, and even chasing after the slithering predator.

The video starts off with footage of the snake after it apparently attacked several baby rabbits, or kittens. The snake appears to be wrapped around the small litter, perhaps waiting to finish them off and start eating.

Moments later, you can hear a low, high-pitched whimper sound that triggers the adult rabbit to jump into action almost immediately afterwards.

The rabbit directly pounced on top of the snake, freeing one of the kittens from its grasp.

The baby rabbit was apparently able to get away after being freed — fleeing the scene as quickly as possible.

It seems as though not all of them were able to get away alive. After the snake slithered away from the litter, the adult rabbit starts inspecting the remaining kittens — checking for any response or proof of life. Sadly, however, they remain motionless.

That is when the rabbit seems to kick it up a notch — chasing after the snake in order to give it an epic beating.

At one point during the intense fight, the adult rabbit appears to jump kick the snake as it was trying to slither its way to freedom.

Over the years, there have been quite a few viral videos of animals attacking other animals (and humans). However, it’s always impressive to see an underdog (such as a rabbit) go head-to-head against a powerful, top contender (such as a snake).

So cool. ? http://t.co/YWkw2qdkHF
