Raychul don't know nothin' 'bout animals, Part II

Jackalope: noun, a wonderful, fictitious animal first imagined by cowboys a long time ago. The cross of a jackrabbit and antelope.

Fictitious. Got it.

That's weird because I thought it was a fictitious animal made up by people for a sketch on the show "America's Funniest People" hosted by Dave Coullier, aka Joey from Full House.

hmmmm, i seem to recall a jackaloBe, and there was some book we read in the 5th grade about it... but it was really just a guy in a mask. right?

jackalope's share more than 99% of their DNA with what their seldom seen but often heard cousin, the barking spider... also, as it turns out, invented by cowboys, whose only "veggie" of choice was really a legume...
