The man could be seen jumping up and down in a panic before crouching down into the bush and attempting to grab the animal. The rabbit ultimately allowed the man to pick it up.

Witnesses said the man pulled over to save the wild rabbit along Highway 1 in Southern California's Ventura Country, according to ABC News.

The man did not want to be interviewed.

The Thomas fire started Monday and has since grown to 90,000 acres. It has prompted evacuations across the region.
