Napoleon Got Attacked by Bunnies 🐰🔫
In 1807, Napoleon, yes, that Napoleon, organized a rabbit hunt to celebrate a military victory.
They released hundreds of rabbits into a field, expecting a chill afternoon of rich-guy violence. Except… the rabbits didn’t run.
They charged.
Turns out, someone brought tame farm rabbits instead of wild ones, and when they saw food (aka Napoleon & co), they swarmed the army like a fluffy little death cult.
Napoleon literally had to retreat from a bunny ambush. Bro won wars but got clapped by lunchables with legs.
