begun, the lettuce wars have
-
there are SO MANY at that park
-
-
I had no idea bunnies were there in hoards or that they fight? Great shots!
-
goodness! great shots of something we don’t typically see!
-
These squabbles were so fast I was glad for my burst mode!!
-
Fighting bunnies will try to bite each other's balls off.
-
Rabbits can be very violent; it’s hard to imagine.
-
How’d they get there? Released pets?
-
BOLD CHOICE, COTTON
-
-
people talk about rabbits fucking, and they don't realize they are extremely picky about their mates and will fight like crazy to keep others away lol
-
When you have too many of any species in a confined space, they tend to fight for dominance.
-
-
Every bunny was Kong fu fighting
-
bright BLACK eyes
-
Anyone know if these feral European rabbits? The shape of the face doesn't seem like wild cottontails to me.
-
these two look like plush toys come to life.
-
-
It's drug gang violence, isn't it. I knew this would happen. Bunnies are being indoctrinated into that rap music scene that glorifies drugs and violence. What did people THINK would happen!
-
I’m a reader so I knew this
-
wow❤️
-
Rabbits are super territorial
-
Are you sure that wasn’t the live action remake of Watership Down?
-
Did you have the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch handy, just in case?
-
A true watership moment here
-
-
That’s bunny on bunny!
-
-
Anyone who says bunnies are cute has never been bitten by one.. since the 5th time it happened to me I set my alarm for the early morning veggie offerings and pray for mercy 🦝
-
We don't notice the ferociousness of our tinies. But since even single celled organisms fight for survival, it's really no surprise. Life is tough. And beautiful!
-
Oh no
-
Amazing pictures!
-
Bunny battle royale aside... 😅 Feral rabbits can be adorable and ecologically messy, at the same time. Vancouver Island's got some wild stories.
-
TONS around the hospital!!!
-
That’s freaking Watership Down levels of violence!
-
Those are feral domestic rabbits, not native cottontails.
-
-
Reminds me of “Watership Down”! Awesome shots!
-
That's adorable
-
I cautiously looked at these. Still traumatized by the cartoon bunny violence
-
☹️😓
-
Jack rabbits box
-
Was he just trying to get a little tail (literally)???
-
“…got a vicious streak a mile wide! It’s a killer!”
-
What fun ! They likewise live en mass at Charles de Gaulle airport.
-
Drinking to much Old Style Lager eh?
-
The first one is my favourite. Lil guy got T boned
-
maybe running out of territory to house their expanding families so they fight to take the land of others
-
❤😍
-
Im sure there will be a day when feral Vancouver island bunnies seem mundane to me, but it is not this day. I gushed over every one I saw.
-
Haven't you seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail? Watch out for killer bunnies.
-
Sex and violence that's all those bunnies think about....😂
-
The UVic campus used to just be swarming with rabbits when I went there. They've since gotten permission to trap/release them elsewhere.
-
Do they allow hunting?
-
Doesn't "feral rabbits" imply that most are domesticated?
-
-
They look so cute and healthy aside from tearing into each other 💖
-
Sounds like…
-
😍
-
where is the nsfw tag Jesus
-
Usually about sex. Some things are just boringly familiar. "Naaa, What's up doc?" "Hey Bunnyphile, I told you to leave my 12 year old girlfriend alone.."
-
Bunnies are shockingly violent TBH
-
My brother rescued a rabbit, turns out it was male just like his other rabbit, I had no idea rabbits could be so violent, they seem so innocent, those two looked like ninjas kicking the crap out of each other.
-
Missed that. Tea in Victoria hides the savage bunnies in the island’s wilderness.
-
"General Woundwort's body was never found."
-
Survival of the fittest!
-
Like MAUI is covered with wild chickens!!!
-
Very well aware, especially in bun bun season when my dog goes insane. Glad we’re past that part of the year.
-

Ever see "Night of the Lepus?" youtube.com/watch?v=uy04...
Night Of The Lepus (1972). HD. Remastered Movie Trailer. The Infamous Killer Bunny Rabbits Movie!
YouTube video by Brett Peake
-
unny violence is like Canadian anger and name calling.
WTF is going on?
-
Every bunny was kung-fu fighting
-
30-50 FERAL RABBITS
-
bunny violence - nice bandname
-
Wasn't Gerald Ford attacked by a rabbit?
-
They aren’t very hoppy with each other.
-
I did not open the photos in case the said bunny violence was depicted. I am grateful to this info about Vancouver Island.
-
"Bright eyes, burning like fire..."
-
Rabbits in the wild are very violent. We have lots on our property.
-
they’re so fluffy and ANGY
-
I saw a couple of males sparring at UVic campus a while ago -- some students stopped to watch, and one of the rabbits squirted a jet of urine at his rival (I hadn't realized they did that). Unfortunately he missed and hit one of the humans. She was laughing but also grossed out.
-
Weird things are happening in my backyard in Pennsylvania. Rabbits are chasing mourning doves. They are eating things they usually avoid like marigolds and morning glories. They have far less fear of humans or other animals. Even my dogs are afraid.
-
I live in Nanaimo and an old route I used to take to get home had SWAAARMS of these lil buggers in the gravel parking lot/entry area of a small-ish park. Haven't seen 'em in a few years but they likely were just moved elsewhere b/c there was a bunch of housing across the street
-
You really got some amazing shots!
-
Watership Down
-
Next they'll be forming gangs.
-
Sounds as though Vancouver Island needs some Chicken Police.
-
-
Rabbots can wreck your shit if they decide to bite you and can kick with their legs pretty damn hard as well.
-
Ahhh Watership Down moment.
-
🖤
-
Coastal MA is also swarming with wild bunnies this summer! So bad i cant bring my dog to some areas!
-
Watership Down all over again...the horror, the horror.
-
o shit you live on Watership Down
-
Not just Vancouver Islands, the Gulf Islands too! Have witnessed this level of violence on Salt Spring as well...
-
Bunnies are territorial and they will fight
-
Look at the BONES !
-
Correct identification would be super helpful, & wouldn't be risking endangering native populations of cottontail rabbits, which absolutely could happen from people seeing things like this. These are escaped, now feral, domestic bunnies, NOT native cottontails. Please post responsibly! TY!
-
the worlds cutest battle
-
Clearly 1 of 2 options must be taken.
More Owl nests.
Or my sarcastic favourite... Introducing invasive Lynx who are too shy to hunt urban bunnies to begin with.
-
watership down 2: but first they must catch you
-
What's he gonna do ? Nibble your bum ?
-
You OK Bunnny?
-
Here in Seattle too. I think SeaTac and the water planes keep the predatory bird populations low; but also, I don't see hardly any stray or outdoor cats here. (We've just moved from Portland 6 months ago, where lots of stray cats means no wild bunnies)
-
Bunnies are MMA fighters. They will gut you if dinner is late.
-
Release the hounds. Seriously, the pooches are aching to help on the rabbit overpopulation scourge.
-
Rabbits are territorial, just like lots of critters.
-
-
My generation forever carries the trauma of being shown Watership Down in our 1st grade classrooms. I was 3 years old when this movie came out and about 7 years old when I saw it along with my classmates.
-
Rabbits are cute and funny and can be total and complete assholes when challenged.
-
Sombdy got a thumpin’? Sorry, I’ll leave….
