THIS is Daddy's Girl, the rabbit who has eaten her way into the record books.
At an extraordinary 26lb - the weight of an average twoanda-half-year-old child - she is the largest living bunny.
At one stage Daddy's Girl was the heaviest rabbit ever, beating the 26lb 7oz recorded by a rabbit in Spain in 1980.
But just as she was about to be officially weighed to establish her claim, she moulted and shed the extra ounces that would have secured her the accolade.
However, Daddy's Girl should still earn a place in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest rabbit ...

Veterinarians on the national Zoo positioned down 2 animals this week: an arthritic, 40-twelve months-previous elephant named Toni and a 13-twelve months-previous cheetah with kidney issues named Wandu. What takes place to zoo animals while they die? First, a necropsy is performed, and then the remains are cremated. The carcasses of all animals that die on the national Zoo—which comprise persons that wander into the park from outdoors—are dropped at an on-website pathology lab for thorough examination. Zoo staffers p.c. out the explanation for dying (whether it is not already typical) and look after tissue samples that could be substantial for study or training. (The zoo maintains an archive of formalin-soaked specimens from each animal it is died there with the aid of fact the Seventies; the Bronx Zoo has tissue samples dating back to 1920.) After the necropsy, Toni's carcass—which weighs hundreds of pounds—became shipped to a lab in college Park, Md., the place it will be incinerated beginning Friday. the technique would desire to take approximately 24 hours. Toni, like different elephants, is an element of a countrywide conservation application that has its very own protocol for necropsies, to boot as an as much as date checklist of which physique factors would desire to be stored. training for elephant necropsies, for instance, advise a "chain observed, awl, or reciprocating observed to diminish interior the path of the cranium" and "carts on rollers to go heavy factors." (click right here for a record that describes the technique.) The elephant factors now in call for for study purposes comprise intact brains, eyes, and "2 entire great thoracic ribs." no longer all species are area of a countrywide application, and not all zoos save tissue samples from each animal. a number of the time, factors are donated as needed. Scientists who learn unique species can ask a zoo basically before time to save a undeniable physique area or blood pattern. The zoo's training branch could additionally receive some excised factors. Docents would desire to apply a tortoiseshell or a patch of cheetah epidermis, for instance, as an element of academic shows. organic-history museums commonly have a desire for skulls and different bones; the Smithsonian (which runs the national Zoo) often times requests carcasses for his or her reflects of taxidermic critters. regulations on the perfect disposal of a lifeless animal selection from place to place, yet incineration seems to be the main typical technique. the 1st elephant on the Baltimore Zoo, Mary Ann, gained an good burial in a Maryland graveyard while she died in 1941.
