🚨 Alert: “Frankenstein” Rabbits Reported in Colorado – Do NOT Approach! 🚨
In Fort Collins, Colorado, wild cottontail rabbits have been spotted with bizarre, tentacle-like growths on their heads. Photos have gone viral, leaving many shocked and concerned.

🐇 The Cause: A virus known as Cottontail Rabbit Papilloma Virus (CRPV). It produces horn-shaped tumors around the head, eyes, and mouth.

⚠ How It Spreads: Passed between rabbits through mosquitoes, ticks, or direct contact.

🚫 Risk to Humans & Pets: Experts confirm CRPV cannot infect people or household pets. Still—never touch an infected rabbit.

💔 Effect on Rabbits: These growths may block vision, hearing, and eating, often causing the animals to starve.

👉 What You Should Do:

• Avoid contact and keep pets away

• Report any sightings to local wildlife authorities

• Protect pet rabbits from biting insects

🌿 Nature has its strange side—observe it safely, from a distance. 🦠🐇
