  • Rebornhunter, on 10/03/2008, -0/+129aww thats so cute the heron is helping the rabbit get home to its mo.....OH MY GOD!
  • SugarCoatedSalt, on 10/01/2008, -7/+102the little rat looking thing just got ate.


    Damn nature, you scary!
  • DreKor, on 10/03/2008, -1/+76In the heron's defense, the rabbit was being kind of a dick.
  • ZER0JACK, on 10/03/2008, -1/+72Somebody call PETA. Animal cruelty like this should not be tolerated.
  • macaca, on 10/01/2008, -3/+45Survival of fittest.
  • DreKor, on 10/03/2008, -3/+39and the fittest says: om nom nom nom
  • untitlednet, on 10/03/2008, -0/+34A bad hare day?
  • deathprod, on 10/01/2008, -0/+32I prefer my rabbit stewed.
  • dha07030, on 10/03/2008, -1/+31The video of one eating a pigeon is crazy too.

  • MeatPlow, on 10/03/2008, -5/+35You people have ***** issues. Take a look at yourself. I have ***** had it with HERONS influence on the ***** internet. You really think making fun of RABBITS is a ***** joke? do you? BURN IN HELL, *****. Don't tell me where the ***** line is, because if you don't know, you have probably crossed it many times in the past, and will again in the future.

    Bringing up memories of RABBITS to a comment thread based on a story about a PICTURE? ***** low. I wish reporting inappropriate content actually did something these days, but in the actuality, it won't change much. The same ***** will always come back, poking at jokes, and relying on the other sick ***** to digg them up.
    That's it digg, I'm starting to give up. It is going to take some ***** dynamite samaritans to drag this ***** back up to the good site it used to be. For all you ***** digging these guys up, I seriously question your NATURE-NESS. This is not the time of the place to make jokes about this kind of material, and you know that. You ***** know it.
  • Kenzan, on 10/01/2008, -1/+28Before we get all misty eyed, we should remember that given half the chance, that Rabbit would eat YOU and your whole family!
  • Kenzan, on 10/01/2008, -0/+25Later, It captured and swallowed a Pelican.
  • publiclurker, on 10/02/2008, -1/+25I'll say. He's got a vicious streak a mile wide! and nasty, big, pointy teeth!
  • Bowie, on 10/01/2008, -3/+27Death sucks, but that's how nature works. Nature doesn't play favorites, or assign justice based on the relative levels of "cuteness" of an animal. Don't think for a minute that if the tables were turned that the situation would be any different for the heron than it would be for the rabbit.



  • basye, on 10/01/2008, -2/+26Well somebody had a bad day.
  • sgtbutterscotch, on 10/03/2008, -0/+23It's times like these that make me glad that there are no giant herons that are 8 ft tall.
  • herrshuster, on 10/03/2008, -0/+23well that's a hardy heron.
    har. har. har.
  • XenoSNK, on 10/03/2008, -1/+21The early bird gets the... rabbit.
  • generalhooha, on 10/03/2008, -2/+21No Ubuntu jokes yet?
  • intuin, on 10/03/2008, -0/+19Wow, talk about a bad hare day. And consequently, a bad joke day.
  • Melancholiatic, on 10/03/2008, -3/+21i am a heron. i ahev a long neck and i pick fish out of the water w/ my beak. if you dont repost this comment on 10 other threads i will fly into your kitchen tonight and make a mess of your pots and pans
  • ncalishome, on 10/01/2008, -3/+18Jesus.... I'll never look at a heron the same way again
  • flgood, on 10/03/2008, -2/+17Someone needs to post this on cuteoverload.com.
  • ChromaVita, on 10/03/2008, -1/+16Some people only care about survival of the cutest.
  • Sludgehammer, on 10/01/2008, -0/+14I honestly did not know that herons could do something like that. But, I suppose when you get down to it, a heron is a large predatory bird, we often lose sight of that because the heron's prey lives underwater.
  • rpgguy1o1, on 10/03/2008, -0/+13that's what I keep telling people, but man, you eat one baby and they kick you out of the maternity ward.
  • generalhooha, on 10/03/2008, -0/+12Fine, I'll take that.
  • mattcoady, on 10/03/2008, -0/+11Does somebody have a case of the mondays
  • FasmTrout, on 10/03/2008, -4/+15I am in ur tummy, bein digested.
  • LawJik, on 10/03/2008, -0/+10"In the struggle for survival, the fittest win out at the expense of their rivals because they succeed in adapting themselves best to their environment." - Darwin

    The quote really is about adaptation helping survival, and the quote "survival of the fittest" can be misunderstood and not fully understood by people who only read that line. Similar to how people reacted to "The Selfish Gene".
  • DangerCollie, on 10/03/2008, -0/+10We have herons in our pond. I've seen them do some strange things but nothing like that. Normally them being around is a good sign. It means there's no one or anything threatening around. When the herons are out in the pond, everything is cool.

    Note to self: Don't dick with the herons. New rule, everybody.
  • mrcoderga, on 10/03/2008, -0/+10For some people, smoking is not really that bad, and they really should not quit cold turkey without some careful consideration.
  • bigfatphony19, on 10/03/2008, -0/+9Now I have a new greatest fear.

    *****.
  • FasmTrout, on 10/03/2008, -0/+9RTFA: "...heron catches a baby rabbit by the ears, DROWNS it, THEN swallows the thing..."
  • simonn, on 10/03/2008, -1/+9Actually, "cuteness" does have an evolutionary role. Many people will not kill and eat animals they consider cute. Therefore, a cute animal may be more likely to survive than a non-cute animal. Therefore, cuteness ~= fitness in some circumstances.

    Remember that fitness does not necessarily mean biggest/strongest/most athletic.
  • WootZoot, on 10/03/2008, -1/+9Thats a pelican, not a heron. They are very closely related though, as evidenced by the fact that both are jerks.
  • 16777216, on 10/03/2008, -0/+8Glad I wasn't the first to think of Ubuntu when seeing a heron eat a rabbit.
  • xcornbreadx, on 10/03/2008, -0/+8Eh,......what's up, Doc....Hey, what are you doing? Why are you looking at me like that? Oh, no! Oh, God no! Stop! STOP!! You're a MONSTER!!! Somebody help! HEL.....!
  • Junior612, on 10/03/2008, -1/+9That's gonna be Palin swallowin up my load.
  • inactive, on 10/03/2008, -1/+8***** you. Two of my friends were swallowed by herons.
  • joeyhndc, on 10/03/2008, -0/+7Bahahaha, some things are just too well timed. Watching that thing struggle on the way down made me LOL IRL. That pelican had a hell of a strut.
  • SpeedBreed, on 10/01/2008, -1/+8That`s life!
  • kiderjones, on 10/03/2008, -0/+7Saw a Labrador Retriever do that to a baby hare once. Kinda awkward it was.
  • xptoast, on 10/03/2008, -0/+7That's why babies are cute. So you won't eat them....or beat them...or w/e else that may not be good for the kid.
  • offrdbandit, on 10/03/2008, -0/+7Look at the bones!
  • ayeroxor, on 10/03/2008, -0/+7DEATH AWAITS YOU ALL!
