    Colorado Rabbits Sprout 'Tentacle-Like' Growths Due to Virus

    Fort Collins, Colorado – Residents in southeast Fort Collins have reported sightings of rabbits exhibiting unusual black, tentacle-like growths, prompting investigation by local wildlife authorities. The peculiar appearance has been observed by residents like Susan Mansfield, who noted seeing a rabbit with similar growths in her yard in recent years. Colorado Parks and Wildlife has officially confirmed that these growths are the result of a virus. Officials emphasize that the virus is not contagious to other animal species, such as household pets like dogs. According to Amanda Gilbert of KUSA, these growths are described as benign, akin to cancer cells or warts that continue to grow. They typically do not pose a threat to the rabbits' health unless they develop on sensitive areas, such as around the eyes or mouth, which could potentially interfere with their ability to feed. Authorities advise the public to leave affected wildlife undisturbed, treating them as they would any other neighborhood animal.
