Jackalope


Jackalope

Jackalopes are mythical creatures of North America.  There are many stories about them.  Jackalope milk is said to have magical powers.  Jackalopes can run extremely fast and are capable of defending themselves with their antlers.  The Jackalope song is said to be sweet and beautiful and can be heard at night in the Western American deserts, parries, and mountain valleys.  I heard a joke once that Jackalope milk is a good source of Vitamin P.  In fact, it has more Vitamin P than watermelon.

Horned rabbits are mentioned in middle ages stories out of Europe as well.  But the first Jackalope mounts appeared in Douglas, Wyoming in the 1930s.  The state legislature of Wyoming has considered making the Jackalope the official State Mythological Creature.  The Wyoming lottery has a mascot who is YoLo the Jackalope.

In Dubois, Wyoming there is a Jackalope museum of sorts at a convenience store.  They have a giant Jackalope that you can mount for photos. They named their Mega Jackalope YoLo.  The below photo
is me on that Jackalope.
