Roadstop! Jackalope of Texas
Maybe we'll see one of these babies as we roll through Texas!
Back of PC reads: "Jackalopes are the rarest animals in North America. A cross between a now extinct small deer and a species of rabbit, they are extremely shy and wild. They possess the ability to mimic and their cries often sound human and tuneful. Probably from hearing cowboy songs on lonelynite watch. None have ever been captured alive and this is a rare photo taken at their feeding grounds in the high country."

The poor little guy doesn't look too happy with those giant antlers attached to his head.
I suspect that the Jackalope is a close relative of the Bavarian Wolpertinger, an equally imaginary species.
"Fast as fast can be, you'll never catch me!" LOL...anyone else remember the Jackalope from America's Funniest Home Videos in the mid-80s?
