Q. I was wondering how tall rabbits are in the David Birkenhead stories. In feet and inches
A. Hrrm. I very carefully never gave a specific figure. It's much easier to write that way. But David was shorter than most. And all were shorter than human-normal. In my mind, they're about the size of a 13-year-old. (But I may well have contradicted that[!])Anthrochat: #TheZoo – 13/10/18
Sua descrição intencionalmente vaga sugere que David tem algo em torno de 4 pés e 5 polegadas de altura (ligeiramente menor que o tamanho médio de um menino de treze anos) que por sua vez se alinha muito bem com a melhor descrição no romance, indicando que ele é o mais curto, por uma margem bem ampla, do que o menor humano de várias dúzias voluntários, mas não tão anormalmente curto que ele não pode funcionar em sua unidade .
"Because he didn’t specify if he meant his right or our right—quite deliberately, I suspected—there was even more confusion. But finally we formed a ragged, ill-kempt line. “Well, young gentlemen!” he declared with his foghorn voice. “That only took maybe ten times as long as it should’ve.” He strode down to my end of the line—I was easily the shortest in the whole class, not just the squad. “Name?” he demanded, lip curled in disgust."
