The rabbits on Teletubbies (Giant Danish Rabbits) are apparently the size of a small sheep.

Just thought you should know.

They also ruin a lot of shots by — well, they are rabbits.

I just got myself a second bunny - her name is Violet, but she’s orange. She matches my original bunny, Ned, who is also orange. Ned is a quite small, standard, normal, ordinary orange bunny, so I went a bit weird with number two - Vi is a dwarf angora lop!

To complete the set, I obviously need a giant orange bunny. Any central Victorian suppliers around, I wonder?!

I’ll endeavour to post bunny pics ASAP.

[QUOTE=Sage Rat]  
No of course. I meant that in terms of economics. Any animal takes X amount of space, Y amount of feed, and produces Z amount of meat. You want to maximize Z while minimizing X and Y. So how does a giant rabbit compare to a chicken?  
[/QUOTE]

That I just don’t know. For all I know, Kim wants to breed them even larger and use them to replace the main battle tanks in his mech units, in order to save oil. Soemtimes it’s difficult for me to find the thread of rationality in North Korean politics.
