What Is A Jackalope?
The jackalopeis a fictitious cross between a jackrabbit and an antelope (or sometimes a goat or deer), and is usually
portrayed as a rabbit with antlers. It is also called an antelabbit, horny bunny or stagbunny.
The jackalope legend in the U.S. is attributed by the New York Times to Douglas Herrick (1920-2003) of Douglas, Wyoming,
in 1932. Postcards showing jackalopes were also sold in the U.S. in the 1930s. Horned rabbits abound in European and, particularly,
German and Austrian, legends as the raurackl, rasselbock and wolpertinger. All of these legends are probably inspired by rabbits
infected with a virus (Shope papillomavirus) which causes hornlike growths in various places on their heads and other parts
of the body. The many illustrations of horned hares shown in scholarly works by European naturalists in the 16th, 17th and
18th centuries (engraved plates for the Encyclopédie Méthodique, 1789, for example), were probably similarly inspired.
