Colorado, USA – August 2025
Residents of the state of Colorado have recently encountered an unusual phenomenon: wild rabbits exhibiting dark, hard growths on their faces, resembling “tentacles” or horns. These growths have unsettled the local community and sparked widespread discussion on social media, where some users have referred to them as “zombie bunnies” or “alien creatures.”
Authorities have issued a warning urging citizens not to approach or touch rabbits displaying these symptoms, as in certain circumstances, direct contact may pose a risk — both to household pets and to personal safety. Citizens are advised to notify the appropriate services rather than attempting to intervene themselves.
