When r-Zombies Meet K-Selection

ITZ everywhere:

Police are looking for a suspect who fatally shot one person and wounded five at a zombie-themed gathering in Florida that sent a crowd of morbid-looking revelers ducking for cover and running through the packed streets.

ITZ will take some getting used to for the rabbits, who presently can’t even recognize ITZ when the gunfire breaks out and people are running for their lives.

“We didn’t know if it was real of fake,” Naples resident Haley Delmonte told NBC affiliate WBBH. “We ran, then we were like wait…was that real?”

Witnesses described a chaotic scene that began when they heard as many as 10 pops, according to WBBH. The gunfire scattered the terrified crowd, with many not realizing that a shooting had occurred…

“It felt like something you would see in a movie, and this was definitely a horror movie,” he said…

“I was in shock,” he told WBBH. “I was paralyzed from fear … I honestly thought when I was running toward the hotel, I honestly thought I was going to die … all I was thinking was run.”

This is how the first one goes down for a rabbit. The second will have a faster time to flee, and a more focused search for a viable exit route. By the seventh or eighth, the mild savable rabbit is a machine, taking cover, assessing shooter sightlines, and fields of fire before settling on the best exit route. By the tenth or twentieth shooting, a moderate rabbit will begin to think, “If I had a gun and could shoot back I might not have this exhausting run ahead of me.”

From there, a whole new world is opened up to the rabbit, and they may even end up a wolf.
