Photos: "15 MORE Images You Won't Believe Aren't Photoshopped"

#15.
Night of the Lepus



We couldn't tell if this was the most horrifying or most adorable thing we'd ever seen, until we learned the backstory. First terrifying detail: it is real. There's even video. This species of giant gray bunnies are bred by a guy in Germany ... for food.

Look people, we're going to say it extra slow this time, and we're going to link every word to evidence: Germany. Is. Freaking. Weird. If you choose to travel there, please don't return with photographs.

#9.
A Rare Shot of the Endangered African What the Fuck is That



That dayglo smiley hovering in the air in the middle of the jungle is actually a Bird of Paradise engaging in a completely ridiculous mating ritual. The markings are actually on the bird's chest feathers, which it can puff up to display the pattern.

#2.
Actually, a Translation Error Would Have Improved This One



Man, just imagine all of the uses. Wait, do dogs even sweat? We smell bullshit here. This is actually a spinoff of a popular Japanese drink called Pocari Sweat. We don't know who Pocari is either, but we're going to go ahead and assume he's a Sumo wrestler.

4. That rabbit IS the stuff of nightmares and I like bunnies
Reminds me of Albrecht Durer's giant bronze and very grotesque rabbit sculpture that resides in the city of his birth, Nurnberg, Germany.
The giant rabbit has exploded out of his crate and has crushed his owner.

http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=&imgrefurl=http://www.pbase.com/rmacalino/image/43984829&h=524&w=698&sz=123&tbnid=biNyoSWOiRQJ::&tbnh=104&tbnw=139&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dalbrecht%2Bdurer%2Brabbit%2Bnurnberg%2Bgermany%2Bimage&hl=en&usg=__FtXY6hzwfRxB2IuX3kcAwjC9pUQ=&sa=X&oi=image_result&resnum=4&ct=image&cd=1



*Hint* Look for the human toes that are sticking out from under the left front paw of the big bronze bunny.

6. Isn't Pocari the drummer in the band Toto?
I wouldn't want his sweat.
