Swimming hare escapes hounds and getting tangled in fishing lines

April 3rd, 2004. A wild rabbit escapes from chasing dogs, drowning in water and getting tangled in fishing lines. The European hare (Lepus Europaeus) was chased by nearby farm dogs; to pass a fence that stood in its way, it found getaway in the lake swimming across the bank. From a safe distance comes out of the lake funnily right under our fishing rods. No animals, or fish..., were harmed in the area during the whole day! Location: Kourioum dam (protected game/reservation area), Alassa park, Limassol District - Cyprus. Video captured with Sony CyberShot DSC-P50, recording resolution: 320x240, 6x max. zoom/digital.
