  David v Goliath: Ninja Rabbit Fights Back Against Leopard September 11, 2013 The odds of survival were rather slim for this unlucky rabbit after coming face-to-face with a leopard and two tigers in eastern China. As the predator approached, the white bunny had to spring into action to avoid being devoured for lunch. With the big cat going in for the kill, the ninja rabbit hopped over his head, giving him a cheeky kick as it went. The luckless rabbit was used by keepers during a test of the five-month-old’s wild natural instincts at a wildlife park in Qingdao, Shandong province. The test is part of the park’s body examination procedure on recent born tigers, lions and leopards, according to local media. Despite the rabbit’s valiant efforts to avoid the hungry predator, we fear it is unlikely the critter managed to pull off a miracle escape when it was later pitted against two baby tigers.
