A storm named Emma tore through the United Kingdom.
But it was one lost bunny named Emma caught in the midst of it that really has the world’s attention.
Emma, the furry version, was rescue while running wildly amid the snow and ice at the Dublin Airport over the weekend.
The hare marched right up to an airport police officer turned wildlife rescue worker.
The entire ordeal was caught on video.

Despite its lack of passport, the hare wasn’t at all all foreign pest.
We work regularly with the Irish National Parks & Wildlife Service as we have native Irish hares, which are a protected species, on the airport campus.
