World's Biggest Rabbit

Like, REALLY BIG.

From WKMG TV6:

A 27-pound rabbit from Holland is believed to be the world's longest rabbit, according to a Local 6 News report.

2-year-old Continental Giant is almost 4 feet long and sleeps on a dog's bed because he can't fit into a normal-sized hutch. Roberto is larger most 3-year-old children, according to the report.

Although Roberto is believed to be the world's biggest bunny, Guinness World Records said it has stopped listing "biggest animal" titles out of fear that it may lead to people deliberately overfeeding their pets to win the coveted title.

Continental Giant rabbits can live for up to 12 years, suggesting that with at least 10 years left, Roberto may still have a bit of growing to do.

So that's where all the carrots have gone. Talk about a hare-raising story...
