TIM: Well, that's no ordinary rabbit.

The Easter bunny came early this year for a few scientists working on the Spanish island of Minorca (see map).

The team has just announced the discovery of Earth's biggest known rabbit species, an oddly unbunny-like giant dubbed Nuralagus rex—"the Minorcan king of the hares."

The 26-pound (12-kilogram) prehistoric species was about six times bigger than the common European rabbit, found on most continents, according to an analysis of several bones.

To mix my comedy references, I'd loved to see Elmer Fudd hunt that wabbit.

Looks more like a kangaroo!

the megarabbit had no predators on Minorca—a luxury that allowed the species to evolve to be bigger and more sedentary he said. Modern rabbits are small, spry, and have sharp vision to escape predators.

It puts the "lag" in lagamorph.

When I read about a strange life-form on Minorca, I couldn't help thinking of Stephen Maturin. Patrick O'Brian fans will understand what I'm talking about.

LOL, I'm just trying to imagine Elmer trying to say "holy handgrenade of Antioch,...batman" (just to further compound the reference mix)
