The Jackalope once roamed the plains of the South and Southwest in vast herds that grazed on the natural grasses that grew there. Their antlers, originally used in ceremonial battles for territory and breeding rights, later proved a vital asset when battling buffaloes for shrinking grasslands. When forced into smaller and smaller regions, the Jackalopes became desperate for food and would lay waste to entire farms, ranches, and the occasional saloon (Jackalopes are fervent heavy drinkers). Nearly driven to extinction, these specimens are the result of an aggressive reintroduction program. The Jackalopes are raised on farms where one in three is sold in the form of a proud taxidermy mount. The proceeds go towards the purchase of land to be set aside thereby creating the largest Jackalope reserve in the world. The remaining two-thirds are raised in captivity and released when they are able to fend for themselves.

Now that we got the hard science out of the way, what is a jackalope and how did we get here? A jackalope is a mythical creature of North American folklore, often described as a jackrabbit with antelope horns. The moniker "jackalope" combines "jackrabbit" and "antelope," resulting in a fantastical creature with the body of a jackrabbit and the antlers of an antelope. Tales of jackalopes often feature playful and exaggerated details, such as their ability to mimic human speech or their fierce and elusive nature.

The concept of the jackalope likely originated from the sightings of rabbits infected with the Shope papilloma virus, which causes horn-like growths on the animals' heads. Over time, these real-life sightings may have contributed to the creation of the jackalope legend.
