The English Lop Rabbit is an adorable, large-sized rabbit breed with huge floppy ears from England, United Kingdom. It has long ears, with rounded tips, that hang down the side of its head and are so long that they can touch the ground; making the English lop’s ears the longest ears of any breed of rabbit.
An English Lop’s body is long and slender and it has a big head with lovely wide-set eyes that glisten in the light. It was originally bred as a fancy breed of domestic rabbit; ideal for rabbit shows and exhibitions with its beautiful short coat with soft flyback fur (pelt), large and long ears, and a long mandolin shaped body.
The English Lop breed has large litters with up to 12 bunnies. By the time they are 4 months of age their long floppy ears are fully grown.
English Lop bunnies are very friendly with a great personality and make wonderful pet rabbits.
