German Giant, one of the biggest bunnies on the face of the planet, tips the scales at 17 pounds � almost seven pounds more than the average rabbit of his breed.

And he�s still growing, according to German breeder Hans Wagner (above), whose hair-raising angora hare was the highlight of a recent rabbit fair in Berlin.

On all paws, German Giant, named for the world�s largest rabbit breed, stands 17 inches tall. And standing on his hind feet, he�s more than three feet tall.

To find out how unusual Wagner�s wabbit is, The Post contacted Six Bells Rabbitry in Arvada, Colo.

�That�s a huge animal. That�s amazing,� said breeder Michelle Jones. �In the States, it�s hard to get them past 12 to 15 pounds.�

How did German Giant get so big?

�I don�t feed him an unusual diet,� said Wagner. �He goes through more than his brothers and sisters, but he eats the same food mix. His favorite food is actually lettuce. He can never get enough of it.�

Herr Hare is unusual in another way, he noted. �Unlike some other rabbits I�ve had, he�s really a gentle character � a gentle giant.�
