That is one big bunny!

This bunny, who holds the Guinness World Record for world's longest rabbit, is partying like an animal today because... it's his birthday!
Darius, a 4-feet-long continental rabbit, turns 5 today, his owner Annette Edwards, 63, of England, told ABC News today.
"I'm probably going to let him have extra nice carrot treats," Edwards said. "He just loves the carrots with the yummy green tops."
Edwards also takes care of Darius' son named Jeff. He's only a year old, but he's already 3-feet-8-inches long, and Edwards thinks Jeff could outgrow Darius.
"I spend over 5,000 euros for the both of them every year," Edwards said. "That covers everything to take care of them -- bedding, apples, carrots, cabbage, hay and rabbit mix."
And though these giant bunnies do hop, she said they're much more like dogs than rabbits.
"They are potty trained," Edwards said. "They're very friendly and tame, they follow you around like dogs and they like to play ball. Both of them respond to their names, and they sit when I tell them to."
Edwards added she sometimes seats Jeff and Darius at the dining table, and they can put their front paws on the table and eat.

Shouldn’t Darius, being a RABBIT and all, have more than ONE son by now? LOL!
Is that rabbit for real? Is that a specific breed people keep for pets, or what?
I know, right?
They’re enormous. One year my son gave me - for unknown reasons - a Flemish Giant rabbit for my birthday. The thing was huge, and, worst of all, it was male, so it pounded on the ground at night looking for sweeties. Those drumming bunny feet could get through anything and wake you up.
Fortunately, I found somebody who bred them and wanted this charming buck, so I was able to wave goodbye to him as he went to a better home with all the girlfriends he could wish.
Did you know why rabbits have dirty feet?...They don’t take baths and they don’t wear shoes.
Big bunny birthday!
That image really looks shopped.
Son,bunny gone to a farm upstate!
Yeah. The woman’s posture is wrong.
It took me a while to find the leading 's' on the word 'seats'.
The chia pet in North Korea imported a bunch to breed and feed the people but he ate them all.
That is Peanut Carter’s worst nightmare.
What’s the big deal?
Jimmy Stewart’s”Harvey” was 6 feet tall!!
Lol!!
5?
Wow, rabbits tend not to make that age in the wild or due to large size in domestic setting.
She is holding it closer to the camera than she is. Her left arm appears to be extended forward.

It says she’s spending thousands of Euros per year on it.
