Chinese New Year of the (Giant Minorca) Rabbit

The island of Minorca is proud to present it's newest ancient animal, the Nuralagus Rex, or what is now being called the Minorcan King of Rabbits. Weighing in at 26.4 pounds, this rabbit was not made for hopping. It's legs were too short. It lived a very calm and peaceful life, suffering virtually no predators when Minorca became and island, thus cutting off this giant bunny from the rest of predatory civilization.
