Jackalope
Basic Information
Anatomy
Jackalopes resemble jackrabbits with a nearly identical muscular and skeletal structure. The main difference is some thicker bone structure on their head and shoulders to accommodate their horns.
Genetics and Reproduction
The gestation period of Jackalopes is around 42 days. Their young are born with fur and their eyes open and can move and even run very quickly after birth.
Additional Information
Domestication
While not domesticated, it would not be inconceivable that Jackalopes could be tamed. They are known to purr, after a fashion, and are not as stinky as other domesticated animals, being extremely clean and well groomed.
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
Jackalopes have eyes on the side of their head to allow them to see in front, to the side and behind them to sense the motion of any predators. Their ears are very large to help them detect possible danger.
