Unlike the video of rabbits jumping on a trampoline, these pictures aren’t AI.
Indeed, the current buzz around rabbits in Fort Collins, Colorado, showing off peculiar, nearly tentacled horns is legitimate. However, let me clarify that this isn’t indicative of some bizarre and fearsome new contagion. Instead, there’s a straightforward explanation for this occurrence.
As a devoted follower of all things related to our adorable bunny companions, I’ve come to learn about a concerning viral condition they face – the Cottontail Rabbit Papillomavirus (CRPV). This virus has a significant impact on our rabbits, as it triggers benign, yet sometimes malignant, tumors to develop, often on their heads. According to trusted sources like PetMD, this virus is more prevalent in the wild but can also affect domestic rabbits. Interestingly, outbreaks tend to occur during the fall and summer seasons.
The virus is most often transmitted by biting arthropod insects such as mosquitoes or ticks.
For the unfortunate rabbits in Colorado, the virus has led to the development of large, dark, contorted bumps appearing on their heads and necks.
Actually, although it might seem concerning due to its looks, there’s no necessity to return your pet, whether it’s a rabbit or another type of animal, into its cap or container.
According to local news station KDVR, the Colorado Parks and Wildlife department (CPW) reported that they’ve been notified about sick animals in the area. While such instances aren’t uncommon, concerns arise when the growths prevent rabbits from eating properly. Interestingly, rabbits can sometimes manage to combat the virus on their own.
According to Kara Van Hoose, a spokesperson for CPW, there’s no immediate worry for pet owners. They advise keeping wildlife safety principles in mind when you’re outside with your pets – keep them on a leash and away from wild animals as a precaution, but it’s unlikely that rabies will be passed from rabbits to dogs.

Luckily, it’s reported that three bunnies have been placed in foster care with animal rescuer Terry Chao, according to the New York Post. Meanwhile, another social media user verified that their rabbit named Benito is doing well at home.
Anna, meanwhile, confirmed she’s donated $1,000 to All About Rabbits Rescue.
However, it’s not just the peculiar rabbits making headlines. Anna Delvey, a woman who posed as a fake heiress, has stirred up controversy lately, with claims that she abandoned rabbits from a photo shoot in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park.
In this sentence, I’ve used “stirred up controversy” instead of “sparked outrage” and replaced “hopping into the news” with “making headlines” to make the text more natural and easy to read.
As per Anna, who was found guilty in 2019 of grand larceny and fraudulently obtaining services by deceiving wealthy individuals and businesses, Christian Batty mentioned to her about a contact who could provide them with rabbits for the photography session.
She later found out that instead of getting animals from a legitimate source as he claimed, it turned out he acquired them through Facebook Marketplace with the intention of releasing them into Prospect Park. This was something she wasn’t aware of. Knowing someone would risk harming innocent animals for personal networking opportunities is extremely troubling to her.

Anna also mentioned that, being both an “affectionate animal supporter” and a vegetarian, she was deeply disturbed by the events and would make every effort to aid in rescuing and rehoming these creatures.
