Screaming Bunny No bunnies were harmed in the making of this video....
Wow! I've had rabbits for years and never heard one scream before. They're supposed to only do it if they're in extreme distress, which this one isn't. Guess I need to do some research.
A lock of the guard’s hair turned white and his teeth began to chatter. “The Todal looks like a blob of glub,” he said. “It makes a sound like rabbits screaming, and smells of old, unopened rooms. It’s waiting for the Duke to fail in some endeavor…It’s an agent of the devil, sent to punish evil-doers for having done less evil than they should.”
-James Thurber, The 13 Clocks
Rabbits screaming is one of the most horrible and evocative images of my childhood. I never thought I would actually hear it. Shudder.
