I had a Jackalope stuffed animal growing up name Jackie. I didn't realize they weren't real until I was...pretty old

Well they are sort of real just rabbits with the Shope papilloma virus.

In my defense, I point to all of the photographic and taxidermy evidence I saw as a child. When I showed this evidence to adults, none of them set me straight.

We have a mounted jackalope head. My dad always claimed he shot it. Had me fooled for way too long.

I still trick people with it sometimes, but only the less outdoorsy types that have never heard of them.

In Germany this is called a Wolpertinger and is quite a common mystical creature.

e30sweg t1_isu952q wrote

I thought the equivalent was a Rasselbock?

Muscalp t1_isuk028 wrote

The Rasselbock is a Jackalope; a Rabbit with Horns or antlers. A wolpertinger is often portrayed with additional wings and fangs.

falble t1_isuvjjs wrote

What’s the myth behind the wolpertinger? I love cryptids, so when I stumble across foreign ones it’s fun to learn.

7

Muscalp t1_isw89kk wrote

Not much to say. Hunters probably mixed up the corpses of their game to create a new animal. However there‘s a hypothesis that all these cryptids that are rabbits with horns were created by rabbits with papillomavirus, which creates tumors.

Simon_loki t1_isy9eb7 wrote

Wait lol so where are the additional fangs/wings that make this a wolpertinger?

2

Muscalp t1_isy9hub wrote

It is not

1

Simon_loki t1_isya08k wrote

So you just called it that for no reason or didn’t feel like correcting yourself lol?

1

Muscalp t1_isyadon wrote

No, you‘re simply misinterpreting my comment. I agreed with the guy before me that this is not a wolpertinger.

2

Innuendo69 t1_isua2pd wrote

Never heard of that before, but who knows? Germany is old and the regional myths are quite diverse in name and shape.

I first found out about this last week when watching an episode of boarder patrol Australia (ithink it was Australia) and someone was trying to sneak a stuffed rabbit, with deer horns and eagle wings on a plinth through customs.

Finally photographic evidence that the Jackalope is real.This Is fucking awesome!!!

Guy I know thought they were real up until he was like twenty five because he saw a stuffed one on the wall in a famous bar in my state. He gets shit about that to this day on hunting trips.

LimeMime565 t1_isu9u7x wrote

That wouldn't be crafty jackalope in Pittsburgh would it?

Bronze_Addict t1_isubuls wrote

No it was Ole’s big game bar and steakhouse in central Nebraska. They have all kinds of animals on the wall including a polar bear in a glass case. Pretty cool spot, PETA members should stay away tho

I’m 35, still convinced I saw one in the wild as a kid. You can’t convince me otherwise.

If you think this is real you didn't notice the badly drawn demon child in the background.

Wilddog73 t1_isukan6 wrote

You know, looking at this, I realize how incredibly unnatural it would be for a rabbit to have antlers.

How would they hide in a burrow? Avoid getting caught in bushes?

It just doesn't help them at all.

Eatingleg4pnut t1_isupsb7 wrote

It would need to have a thicker neck to support a rack like that. It would be funny to see a bunch of them going into battle with each other during mating season and just limp neck swinging their heads at each other.

noirxgrace t1_it8dolm wrote

You can make the details of the creature less distinguishable, to give it an imperfect state, which would look real. Like the eyes and the spaces of black left are too crisp. Diminish or shade them in to make it look real.
