Punching Hard: Rare Boxing Match Between Two Rabbits Caught On Camera | WATCH

Viral: Twitter users are going crazy over a video that shows two rabbits fighting in the dead of night. The social media account "Nature Is Amazing" posted a video of the two creatures shoving paws at each other. The adorable exchange was unintentionally caught on camera at night, according to the tweet that goes with it. That being said, the video quickly gained an online following when it was posted with the comment, "Two Rabbits are filmed fighting in the middle of the night." 

The two rabbits are shown in the video fighting blows at a dizzyingly fast pace while standing on their hind legs. A viewer's comment on the video seems to provide more context for its beginnings. The fight was filmed in Artvin, a city in northeastern Turkey, according to reports. A camera trap set up by the General Directorate of Nature Conservation National Parks recorded the video. The camera captured the two hares engaging in combat while standing on their hind legs.

The dramatic 18-second video had been viewed about 2 million times online as of the time of writing, inspiring a flurry of jokes and one-liners about the hare-on-hare combat that are almost as funny as the actual footage. Although the two hares scrapping may provide some internet entertainment, there's a darker scientific explanation for it. Boxing, so it's been said, usually happens when a male chases a female across fields in an attempt to mate, which is overly persistent.

Rabbits are most frequently spotted in the early morning and late evening, in open fields, on farms, and along the boundaries of woodland regions. They are well-known for their outstanding hearing and speed, both of which are essential for their survival in the wild and avoiding predators. Since springtime is when they reproduce, that's also when they're most commonly seen.
