< critter in the brush, creeping so quickly
or a "let *it* (the creature/predator) leap, over-extend itself first, and THEN I'll bolt" mindset. It knew it was spotted, it wanted you to have move made before it made it's (provingly) succcessful one.
Good on you to jot a couple leaps extra in pursuit. I don't think most triathaletes could stand a chance against a rabbit. Tazmanian Inquiry, broomstick in-hand, well...every day is a new day :P
For the record, I didn't try to *get* the creature in the brush, just politely taking notice.
And rabbits, they're everywhere here. A near extinct species in St Louis.

It's amazing how wearing a torn loincloth changes one's outlook!
