Big, nasty, pointy teeth!

A "large and aggressive" hare has reportedly attacked a dogsled team in Norway.

Wenche Offerdal, who was driving the dogsled team, said she'd never seen anything like it.

She told newspaper Nordlys that she and her team of huskies met the "aggressive" hare in Troms County.

"It was sitting 10 metres from the trail and I figured it would run off, and even that the dogs would go after it," Offerdal said. "I was wrong."

Instead, the hare came running towards the dogsled team, and jumped right into the middle of the dogs.

"It was an absurd situation," Offerdal told Nordlys. "The dogs were completely perplexed. The hare stared at them and they stared back, like they were all frozen."

Suddenly the hare leaped out of the ring, hitting a few of the dogs on their noses with its paws on its way.

"It was an enormous leap, the hare landed outside the ring of dogs and ran off into the woods," Offerdal said.
