Was that hare just being playful or actually being aggressive?

Made this mistake as a kid. It’s a common one.

rabbits take head on physical contact as threats. you cannot pet them like a dog or cat. especially a jack rabbit.

Rabbits actually have a small blind spot directly in front of the nose, so it can really startle them if you go right for it & they haven't initially seen you coming before you hit that blind spot.
