Watch: Mother Rabbit Takes On Snake After It Attacked Her Babies

You wouldn’t expect a rabbit to take on a snake and live to tell the tale - but then you haven’t messed with an angry mother bunny before.

These incredible scenes, filmed in the cameraman’s back garden, show the black snake wrapped around a baby rabbit, preparing it for its afternoon meal.

But springing in from out of nowhere comes the baby bunny’s mum, who sinks her teeth into the slithering reptile.

The baby bunny is released from the tight clasp of the snake and runs off, managing to avoid being lunch.

Its mother is furious, however, and refuses to leave the snake alone.

After the pair fight, the snake tries to do a runner but the mother rabbit stalks it everywhere it goes, pouncing and biting whenever it gets a chance.

As children can be heard in the background yelling encouragement to the rabbit, it even manages to do a backflip kick as it carries on attacking the serpent.

Eventually the snake slides off to safety - but not before an almighty mauling from an opponent that it would normally consider nothing more than dinner.

Sadly, while one bunny did escape, it appears that the greedy snake had already killed two others that can be seen lying motionless in the nest.

But any snake will surely think twice about trying again when mother rabbit displays kung fu skills like this one.
