Not as cute though.
 
It's not on Snopes, so either it's a real rabbit or a really new hoax. If it's real I want one. I would name him Gordo

The article says it's a human developed breed: The German Giant. It does remind me of the giant cat hoaxed pictures though.
 
That thing must get through a serious amount of carrots!
 
I've been wondering if this pic was a phony:

The article says it eats 2 kg of food per day. And it's a rabbit. I don't want to pick up after that!
