| The
jackalope is one of natures most curious creatures. It's one of the
rarest animals found exclusively in the United States. The jackalope
is mostly a nocturnal animal and has keen senses of hearing and smell.
Cowboy tales in the old west days told of it being attracted to alcohol,
probably because it was first sighted on cattle trails. The jackalope
is a breed of antelope and jackrabbit and is considered one of the
most amazing of all desert animals. It's cry is often described as
somewhat human and tuneful, and is usually heard on moonlit nights.
The most common species is found in the western and south central
plains. The jackalope is very timid and usually is afraid of people.
They are mostly seen mounted in stores from Texas to Wyoming. It is
currently illegal to trap or hunt jackalopes, even though they are
not considered an endangered species. Nature photographers are known
to use a mix of bourbon, beer & baloney to lure the jackalope
into range for pictures. |
