August 18, 2025: Bunnies with horns, teacher housing shortage, National Park reopens, wildlife signs explained


Listen Later

In Northern Colorado right now you might see a rabbit that looks like it has horns or tentacles. We’ll explain the crazy images of bunnies online. Then, as school starts, a plan for students and volunteers to build housing for teachers, since fewer than 20 percent of homes on the market are affordable to the average teacher in Colorado. Plus, an innovation in highway signs to help you avoid hitting animals with your car. And, a National Park in Colorado scorched by wildfire is reopening its most popular area.

This episode of Colorado Today is hosted by Bazi Kanani and Arlo Pérez Esquivel. It’s edited and produced by Kiara DeMare, Jon Pinnow and Lauralyn Duff. The executive producer is Rachel Estabrook. Theme music by Pedro Lumbraño.
