Based on a true story: Napoleon Bonaparte was "attacked" by a horde of tame rabbits during a celebratory hunt in 1807. His chief of staff, Alexandre Berthier, had purchased hundreds or thousands of domestic rabbits instead of wild ones, and when released, they rushed toward Napoleon and his party, mistaking them for a food source, not a threat. The rabbits swarmed him, forcing him to retreat to his carriage, and he reportedly lost the "battle" to the herbivores.
