Jackalope is a joke. There is no such animal. Someone got the idea to attach antelope horns to a stuffed jackrabbit and pass it off as a humorous souvenir to tourists out west. I used to live out west -- I have seen this.

Are hares nocturnal?
There is no such think as a Jackalope. It is not real. Sorry but there have been people that glued antillers on a rabbit to fool people.
What animals are in the ellenborough falls?
The jackolope is the only animal, besides aquatic life, that can be found in the Ellen borough falls. This is due to natural selection as the jackalopes can be very territorial and aggressive to any animal that gets within a mile radius of their burrow. If you see a jackalope while hiking in the woods you may not have long to live. Run!
What are jackalopes?
Whether the jackalope actually exists or is simply a hoax popularized by a Douglas, Wyoming resident in 1939, is still hotly debated today. For those who believe, the jackalope is said to be an antlered species of rabbit, sometimes rumored to be extinct. One of the rarest animals in the world, it is a cross between a now extinct pygmy-deer and a species of killer-rabbit. However, occasional sightings of this rare creature continue to occur, with small pockets of jackalope populations persisting in the American West. The antlered species of rabbit are brownish in color, weight between three and five pounds, and move with lighting speeds of up to 90 miles per hour. Thought to be a myth by many, the jackalope is said to actually exists in remote areas of Wyoming. They are said to be vicious when attacked and use their antlers to fight, thus they are sometimes called the "warrior rabbit." The jackalope was first encountered by John Colter, one of the first white men to enter what would one day be the State of Wyoming. They also allegedly possess an uncanny ability to mimic human sounds and when chased will use these abilities to elude capture. During days of the Old West, when cowboys gathered by the campfires singing at night, jackalopes could often be heard mimicking their voices. Most commonly sighted in the states of Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska, and New Mexico, the jackalope also appears to have a European cousin, in Germany, known as the wolperdinger, and in Sweden, a related species called the skvader. Illustrations of horned hares go back as far as the 16th century in scholarly European works Some people do not believe a separate species exists of its own, but rather the jackalope is "real" only because of a virus called papillomatosis. Also called Jackalopism, the disease causes certain growths caused by a parasite to harden on the top of a rabbit's head, resembling horns. It is this virus that they attribute to the birth of the jackalope legend. For others, the jackalope is thought to be nothing more than a mystical creature, perpetuated by Douglas Herrick, a resident of Douglas, Wyoming, in 1939. The whole thing began after Douglas and his brother Ralph had returned from hunting one day. When Ralph threw a dead jack rabbit on the floor of the shop, it slid right up against a pair of deer horns. When Ralph declared that "it looked like a rabbit with horns on it," Douglas, a taxidermist, decided to mount it. From there, the mounted jackalope was born and the pair of brothers began to sell them to the public. Before long, they could be found everywhere, in homes and taverns all over the American West. At the same time, jackalope postcards became a popular Western souvenir.
Where do jackalopes originate from?
First of all, you should probably know that jackalopes are actually fictional creatures. But, they do originate from real animals. The jackalope originates from Antilocapra american,or the common antelope, combined with Lepus Californicus, or the common jackrabbit. The creature is quite handsome, what with it's small but fluffy body, and it's large and robust antlers. Quite a creature indeed...
