Giant Rabbit.

  first question… why breed a giant rabbit? (oh, meat? fur? cuddling and spooning into the wee hours?)

  second question… how many people realize the angle in this shot is odd? unless this man’s hand is bigger than his head.

  This has “Photoshopped” written all over the place

  Aware,
  In case you didn’t know, “Spooning” is a sexual position.

  I don’t think you can spoon a rabbit….hmmmm, maybe you can!

  That’s what I thought when I first read about the bunny last spring but check it at snopes!

  Spooning isn’t always sexual. ;O It can just be cuddling. I want a bunny to cuddle! *_*

  I don’t care what Snopes says. I have worked extensively with Photoshop in network news, and the photo on this page has every mark of that program. All of the signs are there: focus on subject and background that do not quite match, subtly different lighting, shadows not quite the same… sorry, it just looks fake. If you compare it to the photo of the Scottish bunny on Snopes, the differences are obvious.

  I used a search engine on ‘giant rabbit’ and there’s a british article with another couple of pictures of this same guy grabbing a large rabbit by the scruff. The second image down could be poor photoshop too, but it’s harder to tell. Dunno.

  Weather or not this exact one is real I’m not sure, but I’ve read several articles about these giant rabbits and there is even a website that sells them.

  These rabbits are indeed real. I have seen a few of them in person myself. The rabbits look a lot bigger depending on the ANGLE at which they are photographed…but they ARE real rabbits. They are very sweet and docile as a general rule, their fur is luxurious and very soft, and if you can get them to trust you and quiet down long enough, you might actually be able to “cuddle” with them. They’re pretty active, though, for their size!

  Does anyone else out there have a problem with handing these bunnies over to the North Koreans for food, even if one of them can feed a small village?

  I call bullsh*t. I have an 18 lb. cat and while she is indeed a big girl, she’s not even a third the size of this photoshopped rabbit. Look at the head!

  I think even I can make that look better in photoshop. The first glance on that picture told me that it was fake.

  forgot to say that if you compare it with the other pictures you will see that the sizes of the rabbit don’t fit

  The photo of the same man with this particular rabbit on a scale is obviously due to photo enhancement. Looks like a tabloid photo-just how large are the cabbages this fella eats? hum. I think the picture of the Giant Rabbit from Germany seems to be more plausible. Also the photo with one Flemish Giant next to a normal sized rabbit offers a more realistic comparison. They are certainly very large rabbits. Which means a very large amount of droppings to shovel.
  Wouldn’t mind petting someone else’s bunny- A rabbit of this size would attract all the wild critters in my neighborhood for miles around. No Thanks

  this is a continental rabbit-not that unusual to get in europe, but very rare in usa-this breed is about the same size as the flemish giant-which is readily available in the us-it’s just the angle of the photo-the largest flemish giant on record is 28 lbs.. just type in flemish giant or continental giant and you’ll fine ‘em

  Either this guy has hand cancer, or this is photoshop(and I’m pretty sure hand cancer doesn’t exist).

  ahaha the one saying it’s photoshop cause of the clothing color made ma laugh a good one; it could be fake, yes the head area is kinda zoomed in, but I’ve seen real photos of real things no one would believe real, so this looks pretty clean to me. I trust they’ll soon make bigger ones. I mean why have a hundred of them when you can have all in one?
