April 20 (UPI) -- A British couple's pet bunny was named the oldest rabbit living by Guinness World Records at the age of 15 years and 82 days old.
Herbie, a lionhead rabbit belonging to Surrey residents Richard and Melissa Dunham, had his age verified on Nov. 10, 2025, and Guinness World Records has now confirmed he is the oldest rabbit in the world.
The Dunhams said they adopted Herbie when he was just 8 weeks old as a companion for their female rabbit, Flopsy.
"Flopsy loved him and they bonded quickly and were devoted to each other for 10 years," Melissa Dunham told Guinness World Records.
She said Herbie, who has more than doubled his life expectancy, has a big personality.
