Those wild photos of rabbits with horn-like growths in Fort Collins aren’t a horror movie come to life—they’re actually a quirky side effect of a common virus called Shope papillomavirus. While the sight might be unsettling, experts say these so-called “Frankenstein bunnies” aren’t dangerous to people or pets. The virus only affects rabbits and usually clears up on its own. Interestingly, these odd-looking cottontails may have inspired the legendary jackalope myth! Have you spotted any of these rabbits around town? What do you think about how myths and science overlap in our own backyard? #Science #Colorado #FortCollins
