But then again the guy looks like he is related to Tom Cruise. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/bigphotos/images/060411_rabbit_big.jpg in that case....it must have been antidepressants that caused the huge size. domesticated om 04-12-06, 01:30 PM So I wonder how many more Fibonaccis til one mutates to the bugs bunny scale (taller than a man)? spuriousmonkey 04-12-06, 01:36 PM If they can make a horse as small as a dog, surely they can make a rabbit as big as a horse. We just need someone with a bit of spare time and perseverance. http://www.guidehorse.org/images/horse4a.jpg Kunax 04-12-06, 01:46 PM it has only 1 ear! i want a mini giraf to accompany my nonexisting dwarf hippopotumous spuriousmonkey 04-12-06, 01:52 PM We can arrange a pygmy hippo. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/48/Zwergflusspferd_-_Pygmy_Hippopotamus_-_Hexaprotodon_liberiensis.jpg/800px-Zwergflusspferd_-_Pygmy_Hippopotamus_-_Hexaprotodon_liberiensis.jpg Kunax 04-12-06, 02:07 PM yea i know about the pygmy hippos and im sure it would make a exelent pet, i just have this nagging suspision that some goverment agancies is going to barriced my door with red tape i i tried to acuire one. EmptyForceOfChi 04-12-06, 02:09 PM there are lots of huge rabbits lately, in london there is a farm on the outskirts (i forgot the name) but they have a rabbit in there about the size of that one, i thought it was fake and poked it then it moved and made me jump. peace. spuriousmonkey 04-12-06, 02:12 PM yea i know about the pygmy hippos and im sure it would make a exelent pet, i just have this nagging suspision that some goverment agancies is going to barriced my door with red tape i i tried to acuire one. And I guess they are still slightly too big. It still weighs a hefty 180kg. That's like having an american over the floor. Kunax 04-12-06, 02:31 PM still they are cute in some funky way, actually they(pygmy hippos) are on my top 3 favorite pet list. Heh im sure you can guess whats number 1 and 3 on that list, so its proberly a good thing i dont have pets. vivid imagination and unoptainable goals for the win. Roman 04-12-06, 03:32 PM in london there is a farm on the outskirts (i forgot the name) but they have a rabbit in there about the size of that one, i thought it was fake and poked it then it moved and made me jump. Did you end up spazzing out and karate chopping it? Cause that would have been pretty hilarious. spuriousmonkey 04-12-06, 03:45 PM still they are cute in some funky way, actually they(pygmy hippos) are on my top 3 favorite pet list.

Perhaps I could get them to draw a sleigh, or maul my neighbors. EmptyForceOfChi 04-13-06, 06:56 AM Did you end up spazzing out and karate chopping it? Cause that would have been pretty hilarious. no i acted like a little girl and jumped backwards a ft or 2, it scared me for a moment. peace. Avatar 04-13-06, 08:10 AM creepy now we just need a couple of dog sized, manflesh eating rats to be found in the London Underground for a perfect picture :eek: Communist Hamster 04-13-06, 02:28 PM And, as a dramatic foil to the monster rabbit... http://mfrost.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/724328.jpg Roman 04-13-06, 04:07 PM Roman want! Kunax 04-14-06, 03:12 AM pygmy hippos ftw is that a baby rabbit or someones funky breeding experiment? spuriousmonkey 04-14-06, 09:59 AM kunax...look a cute pygmy. I'll bet that this will soon be the next pet craze. http://www.sydneyline.com/Birdsell%20&%20Pygmy%203.jpg or a pygmy elephant http://www.greenapple.com/~jorp/amzanim/sh-pygmy-eleph.jpg Kunax 04-14-06, 11:09 AM uh a new favorit pet, I should figure our who regulates what pets are allowed here in Denmark and ask if it was legal to get one of those. Some weeks a go i ask(email) the the postal service, what the cost would be to send 1 person around 60kg to hell, apparently they did not find that very funny. Fraggle Rocker 04-15-06, 08:00 PM Somebody sent me that photo with the original article. It was taken with a very wide-angle lens to exaggerate the apparent size of the rabbit. It only weighs about twenty pounds. (Nine kilos) That's really huge for a rabbit but it's no sci-fi monster. invert_nexus 04-15-06, 08:07 PM Somebody sent me that photo with the original article. It was taken with a very wide-angle lens to exaggerate the apparent size of the rabbit. It only weighs about twenty pounds. (Nine kilos) That's really huge for a rabbit but it's no sci-fi monster. Hate to rain on your parade, Fraggle. But I think you're mistaken. From the article: "England currently claims the world's largest bunny, a giant continental rabbit named Roberto, which lives with the owners of a pet store in Worcester. He weighs in at 35 pounds (15.9 kilograms) and measures 3 feet, 6 inches (107 centimeters) long." It also doesn't look like a wide-angle lens. The lines of the hutch behind the man are straight, not warped as they would be in a fish-eye lens. That rabbit is freaking monster. Pet rabbits are being bred for size, apparently. Wonder what the end results of the breeding program might look like? The article states that they were originally bred for meat which would explain the large size. I wonder how their status as pets might change that selection process. |
