Parents have lots of love for their little ones, and this is not only true for humans, but also for other animals as well. They have a special bond with their children and they will do almost anything for their kids. This is true in the animal world as well. A mother will do anything to protect her young, including putting herself in harm’s way. Take for example the brave mama rabbit in the video given below!
This poor mama rabbit noticed that a snake had somehow entered her nest of baby bunnies. Snakes are known to be vicious predators, but this didn’t deter the brave mom from fighting him head-on! She leaped onto the snake out of nowhere. She then proceeded to distract the snake away from her nest.
This tactic of distraction is commonly used by animals who are smaller, but faster, than their predators, to protect their young and sometimes themselves. This mama rabbit is particularly skilled at it, and she wasn’t at all intimidated by the snake. She didn’t hesitate to pounce on him.
Even after the snake went away from the nest and appeared to give up and leave them alone, the mama rabbit chased after him! She wanted to get her point across! According to National Geographic, mother rabbits are fiercely protective of their babies, and I think this video definitely proves that to be true.
