Texas Rabbits Rule

From a fellow Texan, thanks for sharing this. I would never guess that a rabbit would own a snake. Was that a rattler? If so, the rabbit will (sadly) probably die from the venom. She was probably protecting her babies. That was great video. Wish we could see more like this one....it just shows we can be entertained without trash & profanity. It reminds me of the one on here where the cat jumps out and scares the heck out of a black bear.

i love his laugh when the snake tried climbing up the tree haha made me laugh

theyre called rattlesnakes for a reason. just because its in the south doesnt mean every snake is a rattler

Look Mr. Wad, the quality of the video was so poor, it was hard to tell it was a snake and rabbit.

A rattler can have 2 or 3 buttons and you will not see them unless you have Superman vision....or if the snake will be kind enough to hold off striking you while you get close enough to look. They also shed their skin several times a year and are without a rattle for a while after this shedding. The skin pattern looks like a rattler.

funny

before assuming the rabbit was hurt. Given the energetic leaps by the rabbit, if the rattler's teeth actually engaged the rabbit, it would tend to pull the snake with it. It did not. The neurotoxins in a rattler tend to stop their prey, not make em methlike, otherwise the snake would be harming itself to bite its prey, no?

Rattlesnakes, copperheads and watermocasins all have HEMOTOXIC venom. The only North America snake with a neurotoxic venom is the coral snake.

Cool insight. I have yet to be bit by any poisonous snakes so I was not hip to this fact. Good Call!

Why must everyone assume it's a rattlesnake? They're not exactly an arboreal species you know!

That it was not a poisonous snake, as they are not usually this fast. I shot myself in the foot assuming again; Technically, this is nothing new. I did not shoot the video, it is hard to tell if the head shape is like a rattler/moccasin sort of viper; I just posted it. I tried to get the gal who fwd'd it to me to find out where it came from, so I can turn the guy onto producer awards. He richly deserves some. This amount of comments and yet so few profane, selfish angry hate comments. I am proud of the energy such an innocent video engenders. Metacafe actually has a human, non warring populace. Thanks for responding. A coworker today found out he has leukemia, he is younger than I am. These comments are reassuring for sure.

Yeah this was filmed in texas but there are other snakes in texas other than rattlesnakes. So next time before you decide to go ranting about the subject first figure out what your ranting about.

i was thinkin jack rabbit when i read that, i've never seen a cotton tail do anything even remotely interesting..they just run

i expected the rabbits from texas to be much bigger.

I got this from Dee in Texas; it is no fake. I asked her to help me find the videographer responsible for this clip, it was not mine. She ignored me. It is now on google video with 291 views; I commented there hoping the original video'er might see how much passion has been poured into his work, that he might be paid via the producer's rewards program. He is due. The fake Christian she pretends to be, who liked it and sent it on, gave no attention at all in seeing him be compensated as he should be. Please- I want him to be accounted for. This is precious, he is due.

Anyone want to disagree?

when they say "Dont mess with Texas!"

Go away. This is a family friendly video, not your billboard for graffiti. Comment on the video or be removed in 24 hours or less.

It is because most animal with babies tend to be aggresive. Most likely the rabbit has babies somewhere nearby. So it is merely trying to protect it at all cost.

To this end I just put out a probe so that the folks who got this prescient video ought be paid for it.

on AFV!

A coworker saw this and said thats where she saw it first. My wish is that the filmer sees it here and I will tell them how to claim producer rights, that they make some well deserved, family friendly money. There is more gentle insight in the comments here than on most videos on Metacafe; I am proud to have been part of this forum. Glad you all enjoyed it as I did......

bonjour ca av ca va bian

yeah

And your spelling speaks volumes about you....no need for that comment and I'm not even from Texas.

you will klimb that tree even faster..hahaha

TX RABBIT VS BK PANTHER

.

The rabbit was horny.

are harassing snakes...

very dangerous rabbit

The comments you speak to indicate PCP, not LSD.

Too bad Bi***y1 didn't get what owned meant. Control freaks rarely want to own up to what their actions speak to. Denial remains more than an Egyptian River.

Lets see if I got this straight. Cool, stupid rabbit? Are you maybe anthrpromorphising the rabbit with your self loathing or what?

domesticated rabbits would eat their young!

I am still seeking the actual videographer. I am not him, I just posted a beautiful piece I was emailed. Those who sent it I asked to reflect my appreciation; No such luck. Baptists seem to be too opportunistic to server their bretheren.

Mother rabbits do not, those just make em arrogant and lazy. Male rabbits are quite unlikely to respond with this passion. Females must, sorry.

And offer her your home. What could be easier?

not the first time I have shot myself in the foot for sure. I also rejoined jimmy2heads, be aware.

...but don't let Jimmy2heads see your comment, he blasted me for being too technical with mine earlier.

The video was a riot though!

We have a world of witness. In these times, what more could we wish for, my brother? Other than a coworker struck down by leukemia coming back to work?

Though the video shooter assumes it is a male, a male has much less at stake here. Her cunning revelation to get the rear and attack reinforces this notion. Rattlesnakes are not as strong nor fast as many non poisonous snakes; they dont need to be, they are poisonous. This snake became aware of its weaknesses here, and thus took flight.

THEY'RE PRETTY TASTY

They taste great with ketchup

Tastes a little like chicken. When wounded, they sound like a hurt deer however. I dare you to not care after hearing that sound.

I am doing all I can to find out. The videographer should be noted and paid well.

yeah, animals there are so friendly they dont even imagine getting attacked... im serious ive lived there for 4 years

They run a little hotter in Texas. Rabbitude is best respected down there.

If your focus is offended, feel free to let it go as we do in offering this video. You can certaily try to Control all these viewers yet that conceit may be a dissapointment. Just as a gentleman, most folks don't want to be talked down to nor told what to do or what is expected. By you for example. Feel free to not watch a controversial video. Don't go blaming that which has not taken place without risking looking stupid online. Have a nice day, sir.

first of all i respect the fact that you havent resulted to insults like most of the users on this sites. however i am inclined to believe that you didn't read or do not have a clear understanding of the video. i was not in anyway offended by the video i thought it was hilarious, i just thought that most of the members who commented were taking it to scientific. no one who misunderstood the comment is entitled to listen to it and why i am undoubtedly not the smartest of fellows i don't consider myself stupid. once again i hope that you would actually read what someone writes before resorting to name calling.

you are such an asshole to say that. Metacafe is for that, to have fun with videos, we`re not gonna stop submitting cool videos just cause you`re a retard.
Maybe you are the dumb one here

Thank you for turning the other cheek. Perhaps your smellier one. I actually am seeking the videomaker so they can reap the $2000 or so their work is due. A Baptist who used this video, sent it to me, ignored my search back through their email. I guess since it was not money for them that had them ignore my request.

Where did I suggest anyone not submit videos or enjoy them here? I will not sink to your pathetic level and call you profane names. I am glad the world can witness your Godly response. And utter Ignorance. I rest my case.

Wrong movie. It's from The Holy Grail.
