In Colorado, a viral infection has been identified in rabbits causing unusual tentacle-like or hornlike growths on their heads. The Colorado Department of Parks and Wildlife confirmed the condition is caused by a virus that exclusively affects rabbits and is not contagious to other animals or humans. Despite the alarming appearance, scientists describe the virus as relatively common and not a cause for public concern. Meanwhile, in Wyoming's Grand Teton National Park, health officials are alerting hundreds of people across multiple states and countries who may have been exposed to rabies in bat-infested cabins over recent months. Additionally, cattle producers in the US are preparing for a potential return of the New World Screwworm, a parasitic fly, by stockpiling insecticides and addressing labor shortages. Ranchers in central Mexico have recently reported screwworm infestations in their cattle for the first time in a generation, raising concerns about the pest crossing into Texas and threatening livestock.
