New Zealand Farmer Films Rabbits Riding Sheep To Escape Floodwaters

It was a woolly ride, but three wild rabbits managed to escape rising floodwaters in New Zealand by clambering aboard sheep and surfing to safety on their backs.

Ferg Horne says he's been farming since he left school at age 15 and has never seen anything quite like it.

He was trudging through pelting rain to rescue a neighbour's 40 sheep from the floodwaters when he spotted some dark shapes from a distance.

Then he saw the bedraggled rabbits hitching a ride two on one sheep and a third on another sheep. He shot video of it just so he could prove to people what he'd seen.....
