Herbie, a rabbit from Surrey, England, has been officially recognized by Guinness World Records as the world's oldest living rabbit, at 15 years old. The record was confirmed in 2026, according to the organization's website.
Rabbits typically live between 8 and 12 years, making Herbie's age exceptional. His owner, who has cared for him since he was a baby, attributes his longevity to a healthy diet, regular veterinary check-ups, and a stress-free environment.
Guinness World Records notes that the previous record holder for oldest rabbit was a rabbit named Mick, who lived to be 16 years and 20 days old. Herbie's exact birth date has not been publicly disclosed, but he is believed to have been born in 2011.
