Unlucky Rabbit Becomes Heron’s Meal
Herons are not known for preying small mammals but these intelligent birds are known to adapt flexibility in their feeding habits and in this case the cutesy bunny just got unlucky.
The little rabbit was drowned in the water which also makes the rabbit more slippery to down into the heron’s throat. It’s interesting to see the cycle of life in nature but its pretty disturbing to see birds that should be eating fish taking a taste of small land mammals. Perhaps the photographer should have rescued it instead of just observing but then again the heron would probably just look for another prey.
3 more pics of the unlucky rabbit after the jump.

poor rabbit, before this i have seen a video a rabbit dodge attack from flying eagle .
You are just like father. When he watch a deer or ox attacked by the lion or tiger.
He will said why dont they fight back use their horn or kick the lion back hhehe.
For me it just a circle of nature. The tiger, lion and crocodile will balance the quantity of other grass eater
I HOPE MY FACTS IS RIGHT

Hi specto, added the original post link. I left it out in the first place because this looks like forward mail material since eyje is another community sharing website (photos taken from sources not listed etc). Anyway will add the link back in the future. Thanks for the voice out.

Herons are absolute bastards we had a golfish pond and a heron kept eating our goldfish we’d come out to se a giant bird flying away with one in its beak >_<
