martinezlaura+FollowColorado rabbits spotted with 'tentacles'Rabbits in Colorado have been turning heads with bizarre horn-like growths, and it’s not a sci-fi movie—it's a real virus called rabbit papilloma. Wildlife officials say these 'Frankenstein' features don’t usually bother wild rabbits unless they block their eyes or mouths, but domestic bunnies are at higher risk. The virus spreads mostly in summer through insect bites and can also pass between rabbits via direct contact or shared bedding. While it’s not dangerous to people or pets, experts urge everyone to steer clear of infected rabbits and keep pet rabbits indoors or protected from pests.
