A huge rabbit, weighing 26 pounds, was rescued off a Santa Cruz highway this week after the domesticated animal somehow ended up in the wild.
In the dark of night, a construction crew working this week along a Santa Cruz highway discovered a large rabbit close to the roadway. No, a massive rabbit. The animal was larger than most infants, easily stretching the length of a grown man's torso. It weighed more than 26 pounds. The sumo-sized rabbit was not, however, as quick on its feet as your garden-variety bunny.
' Interestingly, she said the rabbit's size is not uncommon for its breed, a Flemish giant, which are some of the largest rabbits in the world and are often kept as pets. In an initial evaluation, shelter staff said they found the rabbit had some puncture wounds and gaps in the fur near its neck — evidence that it had probably been attacked by some sort of predator, Rowland said.
