Comparison of ordinary rabbits with ram rabbits
The ram rabbit is a large meat rabbit, named because its head shape resembles a ram, and its two large ears usually hang on either side of the head, hence the name drooping rabbit. Most of its body hair is grayish yellow, the abdomen is white, and the coat color of the hare is very similar, but the body size is much larger than the hare, which can be called the "Titans" in the rabbit, the adult ram rabbit can reach 0.8 to 1 meter in length, the weight can reach 5 to 8 kg, and the weight of the farmed ram rabbit is generally more than 7 kg, and the larger one will exceed 8 kg.
The largest known ram rabbit was bred by a lady named Edwards in Worcestershire, England, who also gave the rabbit the name "Darius", a name derived from the persian history of Darius I as the third emperor of the Persian Achaemenid dynasty, who fought in Egypt, Europe and India in his lifetime, fought 18 wars and won victories in a year after his accession to the throne, and then proclaimed himself "King of Kings", apparently, The Ms. Edwards also sees her rabbit as the "king of kings" of rabbits.
So how big is this rabbit named Darius? Just look at the "Guinness World Record" it holds, its body length is 1.3 meters, weighing 22.5 kg (45 kg), recognized as the deserved "king of rabbits", its owner Edwards said that "Darius" eats more than ten carrots and other large amounts of grass food every day, statistics found that it ate more than 4300 radishes a year, feeding it costs 2700 pounds (nearly 25,000 yuan) a year.
There is also a rabbit named Ralph, who is also very large, and has competed with Darius for the title of "World's Largest Rabbit" for several years, but Darius is more able to eat, and eventually defeats Ralph and becomes the holder of the title of Guinness "World's Largest Rabbit".
However, the tragic thing is that the British media said that the world's largest rabbit was stolen on the night of April 10, and was found by the owner in the early morning of the 11th that "Darius" was missing, which made Edwards very sad, she said that "Darius" is already an 11-year-old rabbit, although it looks more robust, but the weight has dropped to about 15.8 kg, in terms of its age, it must eat special food every day, so it is worried that this rabbit can not survive. Ms Edwards, who wanted to get her rabbit back, offered a £1,000 (about 9,000 yuan) reward and said, "No matter how I return it, I just want to get the rabbit back." And Edwards has called the police, and the police have called on local citizens to provide relevant information.
Ram rabbit temperament is docile, easy to raise, and excellent meat quality, for high protein, low fat, less cholesterol meat, lean meat rate up to 82%, eat tender taste, delicious taste, so some netizens said that "Darius" may have been under the pot, but this rabbit is so big, maybe a pot can not be stewed!
