Have you ever seen a bunny try to avoid getting hit by a car? It's very different from what squirrels do--freeze in place and then make a mad dash for freedom only to freeze up at the very worst time when your wheel rolls over them. (goodbye squirrel) No, rabbits run very differently. They've got the zig-zag pattern down. They sprint for safety and even when they've reached it they still keep going. But perhaps the best descriptor I could give them is this: they look like someone just shouted 'Take evasive action!' and the bunny tries desperately to avoid the gunfire it knows is coming. So it zigs, it zags, it runs really fast then changes direction to confuse you. You want to know who'd win in a gun fight? Bunnies every time.
And in case you're out driving late at night and need something to keep your interest going, look for foxes! Because if you see one you get the great joy of shouting 'View haloo!' and then making lots of hunting horn noises. You may then keep making hunting horn noises until you tire of it. Which may be after the first two attempts at a hunting horn noise, or it might be after ten minutes of satisfactory bugling. You decide. :)
