Holy cow! That is the creepiest thing I've seen in a long time. Unfortunately, it is one hell of a hoax.

There is a high possibility that it's fake, since humans and rabbits have different numbers of chromosomes, and if there is an uneven number of chromosomes, fertilization can't occur, meaning no baby..but there's a possibility that scientists have found a way around that...though I highly doubt they would start selling these Chimeras to regular people-that could lead to bad things....so in my opinion, it's most likely fake.

They are totally impossible because nature's gametic barriers would prevent anything like this from occurring.

no, there won't be human/raccoon hybrids.
First of all, the two immune systems would kill each other. Second, it's ethically monstrous.
