Yes, You Are Watching a Rabbit Successfully Herd Sheep Like a Dog

Animal lovers fell in love with the movie Babe in 1995 when the little pig succeeded -- at least in cinema -- to do the duty of its fellow sheep dogs in herding the flocks.

Now, a dwarf rabbit named Champis has quickly become a viral sensation on YouTube with a similar herding skill. Watch the bunny as it works the flock like a pro sheep dog:

Notice how the actual sheep dog hangs back and lets the rabbit do all the work. io9 reports that Champis lives near Käl in Sweden and also points out that in creating an indispensable role for itself on the farm, Champis avoids becoming tonight's dinner.

Posted less than a week ago, the YouTube video now has more than 100,000 views.
