"Jackalope From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Wyoming jackalope is larger than life.The jackalope — also called an antelabbit, aunt benny, Wyoming thistled hare or stagbunny — in folklore is said to be a cross between a jackrabbit and an antelope (hence the name), goat, or deer, and is usually portrayed as a rabbit with antlers. Some believe that the tales of jackalopes were inspired by sightings of rabbits infected with the Shope papillomavirus, which causes the growth of horn- and antler-like tumors in various places on the rabbit's head and body.[1]. However, the griffin and the chimera perhaps suggest the concept of an animal hybrid occurs in many cultures. One common southwestern species of jackrabbit is called the antelope jackrabbit, because of its ability to run quickly like an antelope; it would have been easy enough to imagine instead (for comic effect) that this jackrabbit had the horns of an antelope." This is my version. Hope you like it and thanks for your nice comments :-)

I think Nigel fears them like no other. They are to be feared. Rare species that are on protected list where I live. Last time we went hunting, I got to hold the sack. Great creation as always Jungle Man. Nice to see you do one of these again. Info was great as well.

When I lived in Arizona, we had something along these lines, but even though I looked, I never could find one. Glad you got this creation...err..capture!!

Greetings Goran
This particular Jackalope of yours has a very large head, and therefore a particularly big brain so it must use a lot of energy fuelling it . I suggest any viewers thinking of purchasing such a animal feed it cat food only !! :d

Looks like the rare big headed Jackalope. An unusual find for sure.
