Rumors spread online that rabbits infected with a virus that creates a tentacle-like growth on their faces were "invading" the U.S.

The unusual appearance of the rabbits has drawn significant concern among locals and even social media users online.

Rabbits spotted with "tentacles" or horns growing out of their heads. But it's really happened in Colorado. "There are really rabbits with what look like tentacles growing out of them," USA Today reported.
