An animal rescue charity is trying to re-home a baby rabbit which is the spitting image of American rocker Marilyn Manson.

The five-month-old bunny bears an uncanny resemblance to metal star Marilyn , 47, who is famed for his white-black make-up.

Staff at the centre named the rabbit Manson because of his striking looks.

Animal shelter worker Jo Pawsey, 28, said: "I'm a really big Marilyn Manson fan and seen him perform live so I spotted the resemblance instantly.

"I decided to call him Manson because he has very blue eyes and black liner around them.

"Most rabbits with black eye patches have spots elsewhere on their body so his markings are quite unusual.

"He's a very friendly rabbit and always comes up to say hello so I wouldn't say he is displaying any other Marilyn characteristics.

"But he has trashed a few cardboard boxes and ripped them up, so maybe that's similar to a rocker smashing their hotel room?"

Manson was one of 12 rabbits born by accident to owners who wrongly believed all three of their pet bunnies were girls.

He was taken to the rescue centre with five of his brothers and sisters in November but has not yet been re-homed.

Jo added: "We don't think it's the name or looks putting people off.

"At this time of year it's always difficult to re-home outdoor animals because of the cold weather."

Monika Maintz, 48, who runs the Wood Green rescue centre at Heydon, near Royston, Herts., wants Manson to be rehomed with one of his siblings for company.

His brothers Twister, Cluedo, Ludo and sisters Kerplunk and Monopoly have all been vaccinated, neutered and have a clean bill of health.

Monika said: "Anyone who is interested in offering Manson a home should get in touch by phone, email or the website."

His controversial anti-Christian message has drawn widespread criticism but three of his albums have gone platinum.

Manson married the famous burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese , 43, before the pair split in 2006.

Last week the rock and metal star paid tribute to Bowie as an influence, saying: "Let's never let go of what he gave us."
