Panic spreads as more 'Frankenstein' rabbits with face-tentacles appear in two more US states

The bizarre virus turning harmless rabbits into terrifying, tentacle-faced creatures has been spotted by more Americans, sparking fears that a wildlife crisis is emerging. The'Frankenstein' rabbits recently made headlines in Colorado, as locals reported seeing the infected animals wandering through neighborhoods. However, the sightings have not been isolated that state. Residents in Minnesota and Nebraska have shared more images and stories of these deformed rabbits popping up. The rabbits are infected with the cottontail papilloma virus (CRPV), also known as Shope papilloma virus, which causes horn- or tentacle-like tumors to grow around the animals' heads and faces.
