A rabbit, who was born with a "unicorn horn" ear, is hoping find a new home this Christmas.

The bunny, named Wonky, has an ear which sits in the middle of his head and occasionally points upwards "just like a unicorn horn", says RSPCA worker Carol Spindler.

It comes after a rescue puppy named Narwhal, who was born with a tail growing on its head, melted hearts across the world.

Ms Spindler, who works at the Milton Keynes & North Bucks RSPCA branch, said Wonky came into their care because his previous owners could not keep him any longer.

She said: "He has such an unusual look and it's amazing how his ear flips up and stands upright on his head - just like a unicorn horn!"

An affectionate and friendly rabbit, Wonky - who is four years old - is keen on being stroked but is not a fan of being picked up.

The RSPCA added that Wonky would benefit from a female rabbit's company, and that he would suit a family that has older children.

"This lovable boy really deserves a home where he'll get lots of attention and treats," said Carol.

"He would suit a family with older children and would make a wonderful addition to the home."
