IT sounds hopping mad, but the world’s first artifical snowflake was created in Hokkaido… on the tip of a rabbit’s hair.
A local scientist achieved the feat in 1933 in his lab, by adjusting temperature, air pressure and humidity to replicate snow clouds.
But we’re still not sure why you’d want to make fake flakes in Hokkaido, when there’s so many real ones made by Earth’s own mad scientist, Mother Nature!
