They're cuddly, they're fluffy, and they're 4 feet tall. No, it's not the plot of a new Michael Bay children's film -- although add some exploding robots and, who knows -- these rabbits are for real.

Meet Darius and his son, Jeff. They're giant continental rabbits, and they're just freaking huge.

But contrary to Bay-logic, just because they're big doesn't mean they're inherently destructive. Quite the opposite, these lagomorphs of unusual size are incredibly gentle.

"They're no different to keeping smaller rabbits. In fact, I'd say they're easier. The giant rabbits plod around like dogs, where as the small rabbits, they tend to burrow and be scatty," owner Annett Edwards told Caters TV.

Want!

7. That's a wild rabbit.

I know, because I've seen them in my yard. Did you tame it?

[elleng]

9. Yes, it is wild, Blogger, on my patio along with others,

and I suspect one of them nibbled on my baby rose! NOT tamed!

2. My sister had a smaller Flemmish Giant --

named Humphrey. He was a very nice bunny, not as destructive as his smaller brethren. They tend to be very fragile creatures, who are tough to diagnose as "sick". By the time you are seeing their classic symptom (not eating/pooping) they are often too far gone to be helped. They also can just "crash", practically over night. With that said, they are VERY amusing to be around.

3. My Buns hop around at night, usually chasing the dog (who thinks it's great fun)
