The hunt is on for the world's biggest rabbit, stolen from its home in Worcestershire
The ten-year-old Darius, a 4ft 3in-long Continental Giant, was snatched from a rear garden. @AFPu.afp.com/UQut#Darius
Darius may have been stolen to order by a rival rabbit breeder
He can command a £500 appearance fee at functions
He’s on a special diet & - without it - there are fears he may not survive
Darius looks a bit like this rabbit, only 170x bigger #FreeDarius
Wow! The missing rabbit has made it to the @nytimes
"He travelled across the UK for events alongside Ms. Edwards, who often appeared with him dressed as the cartoon character Jessica Rabbit. Darius was insured for $1.6 million 7 traveled with a bodyguard” nytimes.com/2021/04/13/wor…
Down the rabbit hole!
By infiltrating “rabbit circles”, @TATT3RSALL’s investigation - like Louis Theroux’s #TigerKing doccos - reveals a web of rumour & intrigue
How can Darius be 11yrs old when the life span of a giant rabbit is only 6?
Did Darius die in 2015 & get replaced?
UPDATE: "The trail has not gone cold”
A new clue in the nationwide hunt for #Darius - the world's longest rabbit
Detectives spotted some Yellow-Winged Dung Butterflies
They followed them to a trail of enormous rabbit droppings...& they were still warm

When the subject moves to ethics, @BorisJohnson becomes more guarded
Asked whether he believes one "can derive the ethics from the science" he avoids answering
Perhaps he’s aware that discussions of genomics can easily slip into the subject of eugenics.
I know!
Most of us switch-off at the mention of “genomics”, but it is crucial to understanding how the world is transforming & how “super forecasters” see the need for society to transform too
This thread👇offers a potted summary of just some of what is going on. #GenomeUK
3/. When I got back to London - the sand still in my hair - I handed in my notice
A month later, in May 2009, I became a full-time journalist, started planning for the #FiSahara Film Festival 2010 and - with a small but dedicated team - launched the Free Western Sahara Network.
Before #COVID19 hit, it felt like the world was starting to wake up to the harm of plastics
But with the arrival of #coronavirus,
single use plastic is now seen as ‘safer’ & millions of masks & gloves are ending up in our oceans @GelarehDarabi@AJEnglish
We cannot plead ignorance
We can no longer afford apathy
In the UK, each of us discards about 100kg of plastic per year, mostly in packaging
There’s a ‘trash vortex' / ‘plastic soup’ the size of Texas in the Pacific where there are 6 kilos of plastic for every kilo of plankton
