Was not meaning to correct you, just wanted to point out that there are such BIG rabbits.  When I was a youngun it went rabbiting every weekend and in summer often after school as well.  Usually dug them out, and always took em home.  Mum learned 101 ways to cook-stew-bake a rabbit.  BUT, if I had come across  one that big, I would have joined Lassie my red setter and skedaddled back home.  Did not know about the biggens until I read an article about one dying on its way to America from UK.  Seems that awful United Airlines put it in the cargo hold instead of the onboard overhead baggage compartments, although ICE probably killed it by ultra cooling (aka icing) the cargo hold under orders from President 46%.  On a lighter (not so heavy) note, it is reliably reported by Fox that Sessions is going to sue United for denying a fox such a big yummy meal and, because the rabbit was not skinned in time, PETA was denied the chance to decry the use of the fur for an Alaskan winter coat collar.
