Jackalope

The jackalope (or jackelope,  portmanteau of "jackrabbit" and "antelope") is a "fearsome critter" of North American folklore, traditionally depicted as having the form of a jackrabbit with antlers and popularised as an object of taxidermy art. It is similar in form to the Thuringian rasselbock and the Bavarian wolpertinger.

The origin of the jackalope is typically traced to Douglas Herrick, who produced and sold jackrabbit mounts with deer horn grafts to Wyoming-based hoteliers and other interested parties, first in Douglas, Converse County, before expanding his sales reach to other parts of the Western United States, beginning in the 1950s.
