Herman the giant rabbit

A man has been showing off his gigantic rabbit named Herman.
The mighty bunny weighs a massive 7.7kg, and his ears are a lengthy 21cm - almost as long as most pet rabbits are tall. And he is almost 1m tall.

Do they really think a woolen rabbit will survive for 20 years in the open? Anyone taking bets on it?

Oh Boy!...Do you think that rabbit can pop an easter egg or two? I'll be able to eat chocolate for a very long time...
