15 minutes is 15 minutes. Next! (even I cringe at my jokes on occasion.)
“It was a direct hit” (hmmmpppfhhh – supressing giggle. Why am I like that. laughing at wrong things)
Cute ex-bunny
If they used a cat, it would have 8 lives left, or am I being too faithist here.
Bunny? Looks like cat food to me.
One of the more amusing sights in life is the look of pained indignation on a house-cat’s face as they discover that the fluffy little rabbit kitten may look like food, but that the big angry doe has quite a set of teeth on her, a set of hind-leg claws, and the whole lot attached to some serious digging muscles. Put them together and you have a cat getting a very unexpected kicking, and having to struggle hard to get away from the fluffy fury. Feline dignity is hard to maintain.
I expect Youtube has some clips … well, if there are, I can’t find them.
Guess he didn’t hear the camera man coming!
🙁 poor little bunny
That was natural selection in action: the bunny couldn’t hear the cameraman coming!
I feel a Gibbs smack coming on.
I’ve long said that rabbits are rapidly evolving, though I’m not sure if they’re evolving into tyre-rubber or tarmacadam.
They are, after all, under intense selective pressure.
We’re involved in a highly expensive government program to develop a super rabbit here Downunder. So far we’ve made them immune to both myxomatosis and calicivirus, and god knows what other skills they’ve acquired out in the bush, but the rest of our wildlife is anything to go by they’re probably becoming poisonous in some way or another.
Aww, damn.
I don’t know if the camera man/woman was careless, but reporters and camera men are known to become rude, careless and belligerent when news coverage becomes competitive.
that is so sad. I can’t think of anything funny to say at all 🙁
Did the cameraman mixmehistoesup?
I came here to say exactly that, so all I can do is doff my cap to you
Those who enjoy cruel animal puns are just lapin up this unfortunate story.
He was a foot too close.
Or, he encountered an unlucky humans foot
Feh, who cares? It was a zoo animal. Wild animals exist only for human entertainment, right? They’re not useful for anything else.
It was obviously a domestic rabbit, so yeah, that’s what they exist for. That or being eaten, but I don’t think it’s going to be useful for the latter purpose anymore…
Hare today …
hehe 🙂
A cameraman with a snapfoot.
The bunny truly bore the stamp of our lowly origin.
