Is this the beginning of a new wave of deformed animals which could take over the world? An earless bunny born near Japan's Fukushima nuclear power plant could be the start of lots of strange goings-on in the land of the rising sun.

Amateur footage posted on Youtube shows an earless mutant rabbit, and the person who made the video claims it was shot just outside the exclusion zone near Japan's crippled Fukushima plant.

The development has given rise to fears that the nuclear radiation leak is worse than expected and human babies with mutations may be next on the list.

Check out the earless bunny below, who some say is just a freak coincidence and has nothing to do with the increased radiation levels in the area.
