I am sure that you are truly sick of hearing all the "BAD EASTER NEWS" over the last few days... road toll, illegal immigrants, your favourite footy team getting beat, how chocolates bad for you... and it's work on Tuesday. Well, hear is a story about a HUGE rabbit... and the story is TRUE according to Urban Legends website and The New York Post.

Now THAT’S an Easter bunny

He weighs in at 22 pounds (10 kilos) and measures a little over 3 feet (1 metre). He is a breed of rabbit called German giant (how appropriate!). This is his owner, Hans Wagner, struggling to hold him up. From the NY Post article:

How did German Giant get so big? Wagner said, "We don't feed him an unusual diet. He goes through more than his brothers and sisters, but he eats the same food mix. His favourite food is actually lettuce. He can never get enough of it."

LOOK AT THOSE FEET!

The above-displayed photograph and accompanying information were taken from a 3 February 2006 New York Post article. The critter pictured is German Giant, an angora hare belonging to German breeder Hans Wagner. The extraordinarily large hare weights 10 kilos., measures 45cm high on all fours, and stands over 1 metre tall on his hind legs.

Herr Hare is unusual in another way, he noted. "Unlike some other rabbits I've had, he’s really a gentle character — a gentle giant."

He's a German Giant, one of the biggest bunnies on the face of the planet, and he’s still growing, according to his owner Hans Wagner, whose hair-raising angora hare was the highlight of a recent rabbit fair in Berlin.

Now I hope that doesn't give you haremares... sorry nightmares!
