This adorable bunny will make you do a double take, due to her incredibly long fur that makes her look like a Pekingese dog or a fluffy cloud. Franchesca is a big celebrity in Morgan Hill, California, with her fur being double the length of a Subway sandwich.
This friendly pet, who is also a mother to four other bunnies, broke the Guinness world record, with a measured fur of 36.5 cm (14.37 inches) and as her owner Dr. Betty Chu admits, Franchesca needs a great deal of grooming and care.

Her owner shared some details about their relationship, explaining that she “was introduced to the rabbits through a friend and as soon as I saw them I fell in love and knew I had to have them.”

“Angora rabbits can grow their fur very long but it takes a lot of work to get there,” she concluded, “You need to have the right genetics. Not all Angora rabbits have the ability to grow and maintain a long coat.”
