In Colorado, particularly in Fort Collins, rabbits exhibiting strange, spike-like growths have been confirmed to suffer from a viral infection known as cottontail rabbit papillomavirus (CTRV). This virus is spread by insects like ticks and mosquitoes and causes black tentacles to develop on the rabbits' heads. Despite their alarming appearance, the virus is not a threat to public health or pets, aside from domestic rabbits, which need veterinary treatment if affected. Most infected rabbits recover and lose the tentacles without needing to be euthanized.
