Napoleon Bonaparte was once attacked by a horde of rabbits

The answer is True.

Explanation

In 1807, after the Treaty of Tilsit, Napoleon organized a rabbit hunt that backfired spectacularly: hundreds of domesticated rabbits were released, but instead of fleeing, the tame animals saw a human and charged toward him expecting food. They swarmed the Emperor and climbed up his clothes until his staff had to beat them off with sticks.
