The jackalope is a
mythical animal of North American folklore (a so-called fearsome critter)
described as a jackrabbit with antelope horns. The word "jackalope"
is a portmanteau of "jackrabbit" and "antelope", although
the jackrabbit is not a rabbit, and the American antelope is not an antelope.
Also, many jackalope taxidermy mounts, including the original, are actually
made with deer antlers. Folklorists these
day sees the jackalope as one of a group of fabled creatures common to American
culture since Colonial days. Another hoax revieled...hmmm
