Rabbit survives


You think older rabbits look after young bunnies? Think again.

I had managed to creep within three feet of these feeding rabbits, in the hope of a close-up photo, when the old one sensed my presence. It was clear he was an old bruiser, and he may have been a little blind.
But instead of bolting, he only limped steadily to cover a few feet away - thus NOT alerting the youngsters around him, who, in their inexperience, continued blithely to feed just feet away from me.
I guess his tactic was: sacrifice the kids, and live another day! And maybe that's how he's lived so long...
