I had a high school friend that had two pet rabbits that were kept in the
yard of her country home. I would say they were as large as the rabbit in
that picture. I never did know if they were a special breed, but lifting
one was definitely a hard thing to do.

My dad's older sister, Aunt Ada, had a litterbox-trained rabbit as a pet.
Wasn't a huge rabbit like this one, but the bunny had the run of the house
in Ohio. Didn't weigh anything like that one, though.

He is large, but the depth of field makes him look bigger than he
really is. Fisherman use that trick to make their catch look more

LOL. I'd never heard of this. One more piece of information to add to my
pea brain. No doubt it is true; just hadn't thought about it.

Someone sent me a picture of this same rabbit and man last night.
Indeed, that picture was at a peculiar angle and the rabbit looked
monsterous. But he is a hoss!

There are 4 breeds of giant rabbits. The following link is for a photo of a

Wasn't there a cornball horror movie from the late 50's to early 60's
with some giant rabbits terrorizing the countryside? These must be
their great, great, great, grandchildren.

My son used to get rabbits from the State Fair as birthday presents --some
of those show-rabbits were huge. It could have been an escapee pet, who
knows.

Yeah, if you hold stuff in front of you, closer to the camera, it'll
look significantly larger. The trick is not to let the camera "see"
that your arm is stretched forward.

Use a wide angle lens. Things closer to the camera look
disproportionately large, so don't clutch the fish against your chest,
hold it out toward the camera. My BIL's king salmon was large, but in
the photo it was huge. :-) -aem

As a fan of corny 50'/60's science fiction I can tell you there was such a
movie. Can't remember the name of it except I don't think it had anything
to do with rabbits. It maybe took place in Texas and was probably filmed in
the 60's. I think they electrocuted them all on the railroad tracks.

Awww, sweet, why do you want to get rid of Poptart? I've got a hunting dog.

It works best with a wide-angle lens. Then get in close enough so it's
not obvious that it's a wide angle, but not too close where it makes
everybody's noses look enormous.

After seeing this thread -- the title, mostly -- I may be changing my
Easter menu to hassenpheffer (sp?) DD would get a real kick out of
telling her classmates that she had rabbit for Easter dinner. :-)

I better check with Wife first...

Yikes! Their EVIL RED EYES!

"It's only a bunny rabbit!"


Among the thousands and thousands of horror stories I've read, there was one
about a Sumerian vampire which took the form of a giant black hare. Only it
wasn't blood that the vampire drank; it was a DIFFERENT "life essence"
bodily fluid... Dammit, now I have to dig out a bunch of books so I don't
sound like a total idiot/perv...

Pineal gland fluid. I remember a movie that sounds just like that
except for the giant hare part. _The Leech Woman_ (1960) maybe? (not
to be confused with _The Wasp Woman_ from the same genre and period)

I had two rabbits given to me. They were huge.
I don't remember what happened to one of them, but other fell victim to my
over sexed Labrador Retriever. He broke its back trying to screw it.

He would make a good hunting dog --you wouldn't have to shoot, just follow
the heavy breathing

It's a Flemish Giant, and they really are large mammals.
