Although they are cute, rabbits can become terrible fighters if they feel threatened, no matter how terrifying the threat.

In the video shown below, a black snake is tightly coiling a young bunny in preparation to eat the tiny rodent. The mother rabbit, on the other hand, rushes in as soon as she hears her baby pleading for help and repeatedly attacks the snake until it releases her child.

The snake runs away, the rabbit is safe, but Momma isn’t done yet. To make sure the snake never disturbs her child again, she chases it, biting and slashing it whenever she gets the chance.
