Jackalope
Base Card
The Jackalope is a species of jackrabbit with antelope horns, made popular by taxidermists Douglas & Ralph Herrick of Douglas, Wyoming.
It is known to be very fast and aggressive, using its antlers to fight, and has the uncanny ability to mimic human sounds to evade capture.
NOTABLE FACTS
- Douglas and his brother Ralph returned from a hunting trip and noticed deer antlers next to a rabbit in their pile of catches, prompting them to attach the antlers to a taxidermied rabbit. This sold in shops across the West and became popular on postcards.
- Some people believe the Jackalope once existed, but sightings are generally attributed to a certain virus that causes hard parasitic growths on the heads of hares that can resemble horns.
- Horned hares are also found in early European works.
- Also called a “Warrior Rabbit” due to its ferocity
