As much as humans fight to protect their children and keep them safe, animals do so as well. In fact, a recent case involves a rabbit fighting it out with a snake to save her precious bunnies from being attacked by the slithering black reptile, according to a new video that has gone abuzz on the Internet.

The furry creature holds his own against the serpent until the snake gains ground and leaves it trapped underneath it until the mammal escapes and sends the snake away, allowing it to finally get to its adorable offspring.

One is left to wonder if the encouragement and cheering section of two children helped the rabbit carry out its combat strategy.

"Go, Mr. Bunny! Kill that snake!" a child is reportedly heard shouting, according to United Press International. "Bite it! Bite it!" a second child yells when he sees the rabbit with the snake in its grasp.
