[www.keralites.net] World's biggest rabbit

 

World's biggest rabbit
 

The world's biggest bunny is preparing to see his heavyweight title challenged - by his giant son.

Darius, who measures over four feet long and weighs in at a whopping three and a half stone, is officially the world's biggest rabbit.

But his title is now being contended by his son Jeff, who already measures 3ft 8in - with six months left of growing to do. 

New contender: Jeff the rabbit, pictured with his owner Annette Edwards, measures 3ft 8in long and is set to challenge for the title of the world's biggest bunny
 

Giant genes: Jeff, left, is pictured with his giant father Darius, who currently holds the record for being the world's largest rabbit
 

 

Rabbit fan: Ava Johnson, seven, struggles to pick up the monstrous Jeff as he is almost as large as her
 

'They are both very laid back and chilled out - Jeff really takes after his Dad. Most rabbits like lots of attention and get on well with children and these two are no exception.

'They're even friendly to other animals! Jeff's best friend is my other pet, a boxer dog called Kay.'

Continental Giants are the largest breed of rabbit and can grow to around 4ft when fully grown but Darius - who is officially four foot four inches long - and Jeff come from a bumper crop.

Jeff was born after Ms Edwards introduced Darius to one of her other rabbits Sally - another Continental Giant who measures 3ft 5 inches.

The family all live in her back garden but they are so big that they each require a dog crate that would normally house a pet as large as German shepherd.

Annette added: 'Darius was always big but Jeff is huge considering he's still a baby. I'm expecting him to grow much bigger than his dad.

 

Competition: Darius the rabbit measures 4ft 4in long while 3ft 8in Jeff still has six months of growing to do

Big breed: Continental Giants are the largest breed of rabbit and usually grow  to around 4ft at their biggest
