The legend of the horned rabbit of the West
- gweinberg 5y agoUtter poppycock! Jackalopes don't have horns, they have antlers.

- JoeDaDude 5y agoNot far from my neighborhood outside of Philadelphia, there is the Jackalope Research Institute [1]. I've often wondered what goes on in there, whether it is some eccentric would-be-scientist, tax dodge or money laundering scheme, or front for the KGB.

- donatj 5y agoWhen I was a teen my family took a road trip through South Dakota. They've got "trophies" of them them everywhere, restaurants, gas stations. It's a big thing. My sister who was maybe 6 at the time swore up and down that she saw one on the drive. We all just said "Really?!" and laughed on the inside - didn't want to kill the joke. To this day, some twenty years later, we still like to tease her about seeing a jackalope.
