As California wildfires rage, man pulls off highway to save a wild rabbit
The Southern California wildfires have forced 100,000 people to evacuate their homes, the Los Angeles Times reported, as the flames threaten the second-biggest city in the United States.
Stunning images of the fires taken from motorists traveling on highways were widely shared on social media on Wednesday.
On Wednesday night, another video was going viral.
It is of a man stopping at the side of a busy highway to save a wild rabbit. You can see the rescue in the video above.
There is no word on the man’s name, but on social media, people were thrilled by his actions.
This man should never have to pay taxes again or something. Wow. I love when people save wild animals.
