JACKALOPE

[noun]

a mythical animal of North American folklore (a so-called “fearsome critter”) described as a jackrabbit with antelope horns or deer antlers and sometimes a pheasant’s tail (and often hind legs). The word “jackalope” is a portmanteau of “jackrabbit” and “antalope”, an archaic spelling of “antelope”. It is also known as Lepus temperamentalus.

It is possible that the tales of jackalopes were inspired by sightings of rabbits infected with the Shope papilloma virus, which causes the growth of horn- and antler-like tumors in various places on the rabbit’s head and body.

THE FABULOUS JACKALOPE OF NORTH AMERICA

This picture was shot with telephoto lens just as they were startled by the cameramans presence. Jackalopes are the rarest animals in North America. A cross between a now extinct small deer and a species of rabbit, they are extremely shy and wild. They possess the ability to mimic and their cries often sound human and tuneful. Probably from hearing cowboy songs on lonely nite watch. None have ever been captured alive and this is a rare photo taken at their feeding grounds in the high country.

The jackalope is a mythical animal of North American folklore (a so-called “fearsome critter”) described as a jackrabbit with antelope horns or deer antlers and sometimes a pheasant’s tail (and often hind legs).

For April Fools Day (2016), PetSmart added this one of a kind Jackalope care manual to their website! The article lists such helpful things as must needed Jackalope supplies, how to Jackalope proof your house, and, of course, how to train your Jackalope. 

Remember, “Before meeting any new pets or people, make sure to pad your Jackalope’s antlers.”

Illustration by Reid Psaltis of a jackalope, a jackrabbit with the antlers of a pronghorn.  The jackalope was a popular taxidermic hoax in the 18th and 19th centuries, and its absurdity has allowed it to live on as an object of humor.

Perhaps the most famous North American “fearsome critter,” the jackalope is a legendary animal that combines the features of a hare and a deer.

There are many tall tales about the jackalope’s habits and abilities. Some hunters claim that jackalopes are highly dangerous, and can kill a man with their antlers. Other stories claim that jackalopes can mimic people’s voices.

The story of the jackalope dates back to 1932, when Douglas Herrick sold a taxidermied jackalope for $10. Since then, hundreds of taxidermied creatures purported to be jackalopes have been sold and displayed.

The Jackalope actually has not only one, but two pseudo-scientific names. Lepus temperamentalus is what it is commonly known by, but the specific breed from Wyoming is called Lepus antilocapra wyomingensis.

Today’s creature is a mix of both North American folklore and cryptozoology…guess I’ll just throw him under the “Cryptids” section. It just seems more fitting. Why? Because I’m talking about the Jackalope!
