Stowaway bunny goes on a big adventure after getting stuck in the grille of a car in Tipperary

A stowaway bunny in Tipperary went on a big adventure today after it hopped behind the grille of a car and got stuck.

The driver took off, unaware of the extra passenger, only to get a surprise when they stopped and discovered the rabbit nestled in the front part of their car.

The adventure had a happy ending as the white and fawn rabbit was set free from the vehicle by gardai in Clonmel who are now looking to locate its owner.

It is not yet known how far the rabbit travelled in the car as the driver is unsure where it hopped on board.

In a post on social media, gardai said they are hoping to get “Mr or Mrs Bunny” home to its owner after its dramatic rescue.

It read: “This morning Clonmel Gardaí located this rabbit who had found itself stuck behind the grill of a vehicle.

“The not so happy bunny had hitched a ride from somewhere unknown and is now looking to be returned home. Please share so we can get Mr/Mrs Bunny home to its owner.”

People took to Facebook to share a joke about the unusual incident, with one person writing: “And that is the story of how Easter was saved.”

Another joked that it might be the Easter Bunny, saying: “Maybe the bunny was leaving some eggs … might want to get CSI involved and check the car out.”

And a third wrote: “That's a bunny story lol… glad it's ok”.
