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.
它們讓人想抱，它們毛茸茸，它們1.2米高。它們不是兒童片子裏才有的存在，它們是真正的存在。
Meet Darius and his son, Jeff. They're giant continental rabbits, and they're just freaking huge.
讓咱們來見一見大流士和他的兒子傑夫。它們是大陸巨兔，它們真大。
Story continues after these amazingly cute photos:
先看圖再說：
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.
這些巨兔不由於本身體型偉大就飛揚跋扈，相反它們很溫順。
"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.
巨兔主人愛德華說："養巨兔和養通俗兔子差未幾，現實上，我認為更易。巨兔像狗同樣遲緩行走，至於小型兔子則蠢爆了，一天到晚都在找洞鉆。"
Edwards, who raised both rabbits in rural Worcestershire, England, says the trick is to expose them to people early and often.
愛德華在伍斯特郡的鄉間養著這兩只巨兔，他說養巨兔的竅門在於及早地常常地將巨兔裸露在人類的視野中。
"They're very laid back. They've been handled since they were tiny. If you put a lot of time into [the] animals, you get a nice bunny back," Edwards said.
愛德華說："巨兔很懶惰的。我從它們體型很小的時刻就開端養它們了。你說它們為何會變這麽大?由於灌滿了我的愛。"
Edwards says they munch their way through 2,000 carrots and 700 apples every year, so a lot of money goes directly into the bunnies' bellies.
愛德華又說道，巨兔一年要吃2000個胡蘿蔔和700個蘋果，很多多少錢都被巨兔吃進了肚子裏。
Five-year-old Darius is currently over 4 feet tall, but at 3 feet 8 inches, 1-year-old Jeff is swiftly catching up. Edwards thinks Jeff will one day be even bigger than his dad. There's lots of time to find out, since giant continentals live about 8 years.
五歲的大流士今朝1.2米高，然則1歲的1.14米高的傑夫立時要追上來了。愛德華以為傑夫的身高必定會跨越他爹。另有許多的時光可以來見證這件事，由於巨兔能活8年。
