Life doesn’t always have to be logical.: Rabbits

During one of our increasingly frequent indulgence of our favourite pastime – just sitting around and talking, Elli read us a short article from a magazine about the “World’s Largest Bunny”, Herman.

Herman is a humongous rabbit that weighs 7.7kg and is almost 1 metre tall.

Cuddly Herman

Herman doesn't look very happy here.

Maybe he's not used to being lifted into the air...

...especially by another male.

Rudi, another rabbit like Herman, is a German Giant (I'm not being politically incorrect. They belong to a breed of rabbits that's really called German Giant). Rudi weighs 8.7kg and was destined for the cook pot. However, after Rudi was crowned "Berlin Champion" in a competition and became somewhat famous, his owner suddenly decided that he couldn't bear to cook Rudi because he was "too fond" of him. So it's true that fame cultivates "fondness", eh?

Anyway, I'm not interested in which rabbit is the largest, the heaviest, the most delicious or whatever...

I'm interested in how many rabbits you know.

Rabbits are really quite cute things, aren’t they? Furry, good-tempered, sociable creatures… No wonder they appear so often in popular media. Think for a moment about all the bunnies you’ve seen in the media. How many did you come up with?
