Jackalope

The history of Jackalope is part reality, part conman! A portmanteau of Jackrabbit and Antelope, the Jackalope is a rabbit with antlers. In the 1930s, Douglas Herrick and his brother, hunters with taxidermy skills, popularized the American jackalope by grafting deer antlers onto a jackrabbit carcass and selling the combination to a local hotel. HOWEVER, the idea behind them isn’t far off from known cases of the Shope papilloma virus, which causes keratinous carcinomas resembling horns, typically on or near the animal’s head. 

Our Jackalope is reminiscent of open fields in the western US - green, grey, tan, with some speckles for good measure.
