When rabbit owner Jenna Antol of New Jersey came across an article about the oldest living dog, she wondered if such a title existed for rabbits. She sent an email asking about this at the Guinness World Records’ site. She owned a senior Jersey Wooly rabbit.
“A few weeks later they replied — Yes, minimum age is 14 years old, and they are currently awaiting a claim.” Antol’s rabbit Do was more than 14 years old at the time. Jersey Wooly rabbits typically live from 5 to 10 years.
