Regarding adorable wildlife, rabbits reign. Who does not like to look outside and see large creatures ears, cotton tail hopping around the yard?
This Redditor, that's who. While seeing the rabbits outside his home was nothing new, a rabbit recently sent him running. It all seemed normal at first, but when he took a closer look, he realized that the rodent in question was treated in what looked like horns.
The animal he met was suffering from a virus known as the cottontail rabbit virus papillomavirus (CRPV).

The condition leads to the formation of solid tumors. The growths can get so large that they interfere with the ability of the rabbit room, effectively starving them to death.

instead to be frightened by the sight of the rabbit, we should all feel a little bad for her. If these masses not get larger, the poor could respond to a heartbreaking end.
