A video of a rabbit with a rare disease that causes gruesome-looking growths to protrude from its head has attracted over 200,000 views online in less than a week. Dubbed ?Frankenstein', the animal was first seen by the Boettcher family in Mankato, Minnesota, early last month, hopping around in their backyard. The rabbit is infected by the cottontail papilloma virus (CRPV), also known as Shope papilloma virus, which causes tumours to grow on or near the animal's head.

Yellyfish lying on the shore near the Gravelines nuclear power plant in Gravelines, northern France on August 12, 2025. Four units at the Gravelines nuclear power plant (Nord) were shut down on August 11, 2025 due to the "massive and unforeseeable presence of jellyfish" in the pumping stations for the water used to cool the reactors, EDF announced. These automatic shutdowns of units 2, 3, 4, and 5 "had no impact on the safety of the facilities, the safety of personnel, or the environment," EDF assured on its website. The plant is thus temporarily completely shut down, as its two other production units, 1 and 5, are currently undergoing maintenance.
