Continental Giant rabbit

The Continental Giant, also known as the German Giant,[1] is a very large breed of rabbit which was originally bred for meat.

[2] It is recognized by the British Rabbit Council in two categories, colored and white,[3][4] but is not recognized as a breed by the American Rabbit Breeders Association.

[2] The longest Continental Giant on record is approximately 4 feet 4 inches (c. 132 cm) in length,[5] and the heaviest weighs 53 lbs (c. 24 kg).

[2] The record for the longest Continental Giant was held by the breeder Annette Edwards since 2004, across three generations of rabbits.

[6] Continental Giant rabbits are more likely to suffer femoral fractures and it is hypothesized to be caused from a weakness of bone.
