The Frankenstein rabbit grows horny around his head.

Thinking like the legendary jackalope animal (deer horned rabbit) appears only in North American folk tales. However, in fact, horned rabbits can still exist, only that is the result of a rare viral disease in animals.

The discoverer of this particular rabbit is Brother Gunnar, 20, and Zander Boettcher, 15, who lives in Mankato, Minnesota, USA. After several days of stalking, Gunnar - a student at Gustavus Adolphus College (St. Peter, Minnesota) also recorded the most realistic image of a rabbit named Frankenstein.

The "monster" bunny looks like the legendary jackalope animal (rabbits with deer horns).

The Frankenstein rabbit is infected with a rare virus called rabbit papilloma (CRPV) , also known as Shope Virus U. The virus is the agent that causes the black horns that grow around Frankenstein's head. This makes Gunnar extremely confused when looking at the rabbit and thought it was 'monster'.

The black horns will get bigger and bigger with time, making the rabbit die because he can't eat.

Over time, black horns can grow larger, affecting Frankenstein's ability to receive food, resulting in him dying of starvation.

Gunnar said, he discovered Frankenstein in the back garden of his home last month, but it is difficult to reach the rabbit. Whenever someone approached, Frankenstein would immediately flee into the bush. The last time Gunnar saw the Frankenstein rabbit was 5 days ago.
