Ancient giant rabbit unearthed in Minorca, Spain. The largest known rabbit once lived on an island in Spain, as much as 5 million years ago. But it did not have floppy ears and could not hop. Fossil remains of the largest known rabbit, which lived 3 to 5 million years ago, have been discovered on the small island of Minorca off the coast of Spain. This ancient giant, named Nuralagus rex (meaning âMinorcan King of the Rabbitsâ), would have weighed about 12 kg (about 26 lbs).
