This post is about rabbits and Wolpertingers

Evidently the jackalope myth was probably caused by something called the Shope papillomavirus. Medical pictures of it here.

I also want a wolpertinger for my birthday. I may have found my favorite fantasy animal.

Awww! Poor rabbits!

HPV seems much more gentle in contrast. (Though, cancer is NEVER cool. But, only a handful of HPV strains cause it.)

Poor bunnies!

Insane growths on their heads, dooming their little bunny lives.

I am confused. Is that hair? A fungus?

[alexisallen]

It's a wart, basically.

Yeah. ON YOUR HEAD!
