A buncherman, which is a type of logger, was building a fire guard at the Elephant Hill blaze about a month ago when the hare scooted out from the flames, Andre says.

The hare, also known as a leveret, was dodging left and right and jumping over burning logs.

He put water into his sandwich container and placed the hare in it to cool off the animal香蕉视频直播檚 burning feet. The hare spent the two-hour drive back home in the man香蕉视频直播檚 lunch kit.
