Love that you featured a creature from American folklore. I'd never heard of it. Thanks for sharing.
When we lived in Arizona, I was always on the lookout for one, but never saw the creature.
Every time I think of the jackalope, can't help thinking of the animated short that's a bonus feature on The Incredibles DVD. If every jackalope were wise, bounding sages like that one, I'd love to see one up close.

I can't help but feel sad for all those poor deer that have been savagely mated by killer rabbits to create this hybrid offspring.
This is such a cool animal! I can't seem to get passed the phrase 'killer rabbit', though. lol
WTH! 0_0
oh, no... LOL! Hubs's favorite Yosemite Sam-ism is "Jackalope Nitwit." *snort* :D <3
Hahaha! Monty Python flashes of killer rabbits. ^_^ Love him!
A killer rabbit makes me laugh! Love that phrase!! I also like it as an insult. As in, 'Don't be such a jackalope!"
Jackalopes are interesting creatures of legend. I still don't see how a bunny could scurry into a hole with those antlers, though.
I did a double-take on "killer rabbit", although the picture helped :). I think I've heard the name before, but never knew what it referred to.
I've seen pictures of this little guy before. You mean he's (gasp) not real?!?!
Oh, I just love this and its so real like it grew from our imagination. I saw a mythical like creature in Orlando recently...I thought it hopped out of some book. IT was a miniature squirrel. Do they have those there? It hopped along the sidewalk following us, darting in and around our feet. Very strange. He was teeny tiny. I think he disappeared into some story after we left.
Nicole that was me above...Google picked up and old account! Frigngruvn, yes I love VWs!
