That's one big bunny!!

Rabbit breeder Karl Szmolinsky presents an almost 20-pound gray German Giant at his farm in Eberswalde, Germany.

...An east German pensioner who breeds rabbits the size of dogs has been asked by North Korea to help set up a big bunny farm to alleviate food shortages in the communist country. Now journalists and rabbit gourmets from around the world are thumping at his door.

It all started when Karl Szmolinsky won a prize for breeding Germany's largest rabbit, a friendly-looking 10.5 kilogram "German Gray Giant" called Robert, in February 2006.

Images of the chubby monster went around the world and reached the reclusive communist state of North Korea, a country of 23 million which according to the United Nations Food Programme suffers widespread food shortages and where many people "struggle to feed themselves on a diet critically deficient in protein, fats and micronutrients."

Roberto, the two-year-old Continental Giant from Holland, weighs in at a massive two-and-a-half stone and is believed by his owner, mother-of-ten Annette Edwards, to be the longest in the world.
