The story is odd, to say the least. It goes like this: In July of 1807, Napoleon was relaxing after wrapping up a war with the Russian Empire. He and his posse decided to enjoy a rabbit hunt, which was organized by Napoleon's Chief of Staff, Alexandre Berthier. Berthier rounded up rabbits for the occasion and caged them until the moment the hunt began, at which point he and his men flung the cage doors open — only to find that the rabbits did not run away. Berthier had foolishly collected farmers' rabbits, not wild ones, and swarms of the friendly and unafraid bunnies headed right at Napoleon and his hunting party. The fuzzy onslaught was funny at first, but the sheer volume of rabbits actually drove Napoleon and his men back to their carriages — making this bunny battle a funny story for the ages.
