'Rabbits love getting stroked on their nose.' You see it, right?

No, it's definitely a bird. But hey, you be the judge.A video of a black animal getting a nice scratch is spreading quickly around the internet as people take sides in yet another great debate.Daniel Quintana, a scientist at the University of Oslo in Norway, is responsible for all this -- he found the video on an image-sharing website on Sunday and tweeted it, saying,"Rabbits love getting stroked on their nose." You see it, right?Rabbits love getting stroked on their nose pic.

— Dan Quintana 🐰 August 18, 2019 Read MoreSince then, it's blown up -- all because Quintana played on a famous optical illusion wherein a rabbit looks like a bird, and a bird looks like a rabbit. His video alone has been viewed millions of times.But here's the thing: CNN has in fact verified that not only does the video show a bird, it's specifically an African White-necked Raven named Mischief.

LeighAlmond bird.

That beak doesn't look like ears.

It is so clearly a bird, BUT, I can see the illusion of the rabbit. What surprises me is that this , this is what catches the attention of millions .

I saw the bird first

This content is much preferred to the nonsense about Trump you guys usually spew.

rabbit

Posts like this are how I know CNN runs disinformation campaigns well they call it BREAKING NEWS but you get the idea. Stop dabbling in what makes people less informed like 'Is this a rabbit' when it is clearly a bird. The NEWS is not for making people morons you total clowns

A bird 100% sure.

How could anyone think that's a rabbit

Somebody give a nose to that rabbit please!! 🤣

A bird. The thing that gives it away is the nick skin. That clearly shows that these are not some bunny ears but an opened beak and the bird is looking to the right side .

It's a CROW!!!!

It's obviously a crow because of the beak, it's a dead give away.

Wtf? Do you see a car or a house in the photo above:

A goat 🐐

Seriously In what way or form does this look like a rabbit?🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Trump says it’s a bird and Twitter explodes over his speciesism.

It should be flying free. Not inprisoned for life as a show for inadequate humans.

I just want to know who in the world thought that was a rabbit.

It's blue.

Yes, there's a species of rabbits that has unbelievably hard pointy ears. What's very unique with this species is these rabbits are so high up in the evolution that they breathe through their ears and therefore, do not need noses!

it's a bird.

Yanni

I knew it was a rabbit!

It’s easy to figure out it’s a bunny when you consider its proportion to the hand.

If you don't see a bird then idk what to tell you 😑

Rabbits don’t have beaks for ears.... CNN this is your news, meanwhile the Amazon is in flames? SMFH

While I caught the whole, 'optical illusion' bit, it's pretty easy to tell it's a bird because of it's beak. Unless it's a rabbit with a hole in it's ear. 😏👉👉👂

Raven. End of story

It's not April 1st. If anyone says he resembles a rabbit, they are either trolling, or need some sort of help.

Yes, living in Africa, we have a lot of those rabbits flying in the garden.

You gotta be a special kind of stupid to think that’s a rabbit
