"Darius," a 1-year-old continental giant rabbit from England, has been crowned the world's largest bunny, weighing in at 50 pounds and standing a whopping 4 feet 3 inches tall. And he's still growing.
His owner, 59-year-old model and grandmother Annette Edwards, showed him off Thursday on "The Today Show" via satellite. He is her fourth rabbit to end up in the record books.
“He could grow another 4 to 6 inches,” Edwards said. “It’s quite scary.”
Guinness World Records has certified Darius’ record, which is based solely on his length. The record-keepers used to also list animals by weight, but dropped that measurement for fear that people were overfeeding their pets to get them in the record book.
Darius thinks he’s a dog, Edwards said. He eats at the table and lays across Edwards’ lap to be petted when she watches TV. Every day, he wolfs down a bowl of rabbit chow, two apples, a dozen carrots and half a cabbage.
Darius is insured for $1.6 million, has an agent and travels with a bodyguard.
