God speed.
If you’e ever seen a rabbit lying down, you’ll know that they can appear pretty long.
They flatten themselves, stretch out their legs, and just have a great and relaxing time, to be honest.
There’s one rabbit though who, when he lies down, could easily be mistaken for a cat or a dog or some other kind of large-ish animal
His name is Darius and he’s the longest bunny in the world.
Darius belongs to Annette Edwards who has reared him since he was a mere baby bun.
Before him, Darius’s mam Alice was the largest bunny in the world – a title which Darius then took on himself, becoming the Guinness Book of World Records biggest rabbit at 4 foot, 4 inches tall.
And now, he’s retiring.
Metro.co.uk reports that at eight years of age, Darius will be stopping all of his press appearances and ad campaigns to concentrate on chilling out.
He’s also probably going to do some more bunny related things like eating carrots and running around and being cute, etc.
This retirement is pretty warranted too because Darius has had a decent career.
According to the rabbit’s website, over the course of his lifetime Darius has appeared on ODN, 8 Out of 10 Cats, done some press with Asda, opened a pet shop, fathered many children, been in the Daily Mail, and appeared in many, many photoshoots.
Not bad, like.
Annette has said that Darius will still be taking visitors at his home, but that he won’t be available for interviews anymore.
