The rabbits didn’t hop out of the set of a horror flick: They have cottontail rabbit papillomavirus, a skin disease that leads to alarming-looking growths. “It exhibits as these wart-like growths on their face—sometimes they’re smaller, like little nodules, and sometimes they’re bigger, like tentacles or horns,” says Kara Van Hoose, a spokesperson with Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
We asked experts what the virus is, how it affects rabbits, and if humans should be concerned. More
When you make love from behind, it doesn’t matter too much
It’s quick, too.
It REALLY is disurbing. Those poor animals. Then again, I wonder if the horns will freak out predators. And if the predators eat them, will they get infected as well? If so, I think rabbit soup should be the main dish at the next Congressional democrat cacaus.
A few years ago we had this crazy squirrel running around my back yard for a few days. It was 10 times crazier than a typical squirrel – running around in circles continuously and jumping all over the place.
I did a little research and determined it was infected by a Bot Fly larvae, which lives under the skin and it drives the animal nuts due to the pain and itching.
Eventually the larvae morphs into a fly and exits the skin and the animal is back to normal.
This can happen to humans too. Maybe that’s what causes libtardism…
Saw the same nutter squirrel behavior in MN, it was from the West Nile virus. Transmitted via mosquitos. The DNR treated the nearby lake to kill the mosquitos.
So, Jackalopes are real?!?
The jackalope lives!
Maybe they’re morphing into giant mutant killer rabbits like in that early 70’s horror movie Night of the Lepus with DeForrest Kelly (Dr. McCoy from Star Trek) in it. Or the killer rabbit from Monty Python and the Holy Grail or the rabbits from the animated movie Watership Down. Run away!
Wut? Horny Rabbits? I thought they were always horny.
My son raises rabbits for sale and of his male rabbits got out of his hutch recently and impregnated some of his female rabbits so now he suddenly has a few extra baby rabbits. Don’t tell Jimmy Carter about these rabbits even though he’s dead, they just might come after him in the afterlife
I have a brand new Flystory that happened today, no kidding, and a very old squirrel story.
A big bigfoot sized housefly appeared in my space. It had no fear and it climbed onto my finger. I checked it out in an up close observation. It looked like an old timer. It may have had some kind of affliction. Every 20 or 30 seconds it shook itself but it was like a viberation like the way a honeybee communicates. Anyway, it stayed on my finger until I got to the door and let it out. It’s out there now, somewhere.
The squirrel died a horrible death of starvation. I did not know any of this until later. One place I lived had an acorn tree out back. One branch was over the roof top. I never minded the squirrels. But the nuts dropping onto the roof drove me nuts. The plop plop fizz fizz sound except it was knock knock roll roll roll DING when they would fall into the gutter.
Unbeknownst to me, the house subdivision grounds crew went around and installed new screening on the soffit vents. Over the next few days I would hear a squirrel run all over the roof. It was mad as heck and screeching a lot. After a few days went away.
About a week or 2 later the smell started.
It took another week before I found it in the attic and it was dried up and mummified.

My brother in Seattle once years ago had a possum somehow get stuck behind one of his walls inside his house. The smell is what finally got him to investigate why it was stinking so bad. He found a very dead maggot ridden dead possum inside his wall. He doesn’t know the possum got inside his wall; all he knows was that it stunk like hell until he found it.
There was a time when goats didn’t have horns. but now we know the rest of the story.
Some kind of critter crawled under our shipping container storage building and died. Bad smell. Luckily it is far away from the house. I hung a half-dozen of those pine tree looking car air fresheners inside the container. They helped.
