Investigators confirmed it was a rabbit on the runway that forced a United Airlines flight to make an emergency return to Denver International Airport.
The right engine ingested the unfortunate hare as the jetliner gathered speed, causing flames to shoot out from beneath the wing.
The pilot suspected as much shortly after takeoff, radioing the Denver airport tower: "Rabbit through the number 2, that'll do it."
There were no injuries - aside from the rabbit - in the April 13 mishap.
