Crows may not be labelled as birds of prey, but they opportunistically feed on small birds, small rodents and other small creatures. In some cases, crows actively hunt their prey. This is where rabbits come into their diet.
their parents offer them little protection and have no other way to defend themselves. it all boils down to luck if they are able to make it through adulthood.
Crows, ravens, parrots and magpies are all part of the Corvid family, and they are VERY intelligent, even by mammal standards. I admire them. But I also hate it when they get bunnies, even though crows have to eat too.
@@bunninsula5849: I agree. My first instinct is to cheer for the bunny to escape. I guess if I was there, I would have chased the crow away from the bunny and made sure the bunny was able to return home. But I really have come to appreciate how incredibly intelligent the crow family is-even seen videos of them solving locking mechanisms. These videos are always hard to watch-the ones where I like both the predator animal and the prey animal.
I hate the way those little buggers whine...eee eee eee eee eee!.....Oooooh...little bunny...try to run away! try to run away from the big bad crow!.....SWOOP!!...CAUGHT!!...eee eee eee eee eee eee!!....PECK IT CROW!! PECK ITS BRAINS OUT!!!....Crow flies away...with bunny firmly clenched in its talons....a happy ending!
I have a Netherland Dwarf as a pet.. she's an absolute sweetheart. Seeing the baby bunny run at @0:24 made my heart hurt.. btw, gave a like for the effort to shoot the horrors of nature.
Mother rabbits usually abandon their young once they are able to feed themselves. I know, I raised rabbits for a long time now. Seldom do they ever remain with their young. Even in the wild, if the mother rabbit is around while the young rabbit gets attacked, more than likely the mother will let it be. They sometimes help fend of the predators, but it's rarely a success. Sad but true, rabbits only purpose in life is to be prey animals.
@@maximillionroivas3893 people that cry about it tend to turn a blind eye towards that fact simply because they have a pet bunny or think they are cute. these people are delusional.
@@NorthForkFisherman yea 🤷♂️ you could be right but they don’t usually circle back when they make a break for it. I have them around my yard and when they run it’s always towards tall grass, bushes, flowers or any other cover they can find. Possible it ran under the car then got scared and ran back out into the same spot where the crow finished it off.
@@santiagovalencia794 This video, and the uncensored playlist on my RU-vid channel of predators, would both highly disagree. Nature is riddled with victims and unfortunately people who make life too abstract in order to excuse and cope with the constant suffering at hand.
@@Mercymurv Suffering does not imply "being a victim", it is only a product of having a nervous system. The more complex the brain and the more nerve endings there are, the greater the suffering. It is the downside of having a brain. On the other hand, victim is a legal term that implies deliberative reason. Because when someone is a "victimizer" it is assumed that he could not harm or act to the detriment of the other, and even so he did. In this case, if the human intervened, he would become the perpetrator. Because suffering goes both ways, either to be killed, or to die of hunger. Did you know that starving to death is one of the worst ways to die? It involves a slow agony. If the human intervenes, he would suffer an animal whose species has the evolutionary strategy of cunningly hunting, for defending an animal whose species has the evolutionary strategy of reproducing a lot and having many exponents. Therefore, the most responsible thing to do is not to intervene.
@@santiagovalencia794 4% of mammals are wildlife, and the rest are human or human-bred animals. I guess if someone is getting hunted by a predator, the responsible thing to do would be not intervene? Let them get their organs ripped out slowly by the predator, since humans have so much reproduction and "exponents"?
@@Mercymurv This percentage is not a reliable indicator of the danger of extinction of mammals, rather it shows the proliferation of domestic animals and the human predilection for domesticating other mammals. Now, I assume that among the species raised by humans you will include the thousands of rabbits that are used as pets and the millions of rabbits raised for domestic consumption and other animals, because those species are the least endangered due to the artificial selection imposed by humans on some animals. Second, you are lying about human overpopulation, in fact human beings are not as prolific or numerous creatures as one might believe. Even by the end of the century there could be a demographic decline for the first time in history, so it is a common site, which denotes a lot of ignorance, to say that there are many humans. That some animals prey on others is not what should be avoided, that has happened before the existence of humanity and occurs in parallel to it. Rabbits don't need to be saved from other predators, they just need humans to stop hunting them for no reason and no longer displacing their homes for crops, that's enough.
Why not protect the bunny from suffering/death? To the people saying mother rabbits offer little to no protection... sometimes mothers are gone looking for food, in shock, or know they cannot win the fight; still there are plenty of videos on RU-vid of mother rabbits defending their babies from predators, so stop assuming the worst of absolute victims. P.S. Please go vegan if you are against animal abuse.
@@shezyam460 They're just oppressed little people trying to get by. If you don't want to share with them then learn how to fortify. Personally I don't mind sharing with them nor do many gardeners here on RU-vid. Rabbits are very modest and easy to co-exist with.
