Yesterday (just in time for Easter!) the Prospect Park Zoo alerted potential visitors that their 3-year-old Flemish giant rabbit—Herbie, who weights in at 18 lbs—is available for petting! They note: "zoo-goers can greet Herbie and touch other animals at the Live Animal Encounters program held every Saturday and Sunday at 12:30, 1:00, 2:30, 3:00 p.m." Surprisingly, this big guy is a full 10 lbs lighter than some others of his kind!
