As if they don't have enough weird animals they have to go and make a load more up.I was talking to an Aussie once who told me they love to frighten the Euro visitors heading for the Bush by talking about the 'hoop snake' - which inserts its tail into its mouth and speed-wheels across the ground towards its prey at 45mph.
the jackalope is an american phenomenon, i think. are any non-US-based dissensians familiar? a rabbit with a rack of horns, essentially. not sure about its origins, but it is a popular legend in the american south. and west. american southwest. from a postcard on my desk:
The Western Jackalope: Among the rarest of the hunter's trophies is the timid jackalope. The nocturnal antlered, long-eared mammal has keen senses of hearing and smell and is said to be attracted to alcohol...
A cockatrice has the upper half of a rooster and the bottom half of a snake. It can kill with a glance.
I recently bought a stuffed and mounted jackalope off ebay from a man in Montana. Indeed, it's a Montana Snarling Jackalope due to its particularly aggressive demeanour. The jackalope hunter wanted an insane amount of money to ship to London so it's currently at my friend's house in Phoenix waiting for her next trip over, when she should have a lot of fun explaining to customs what it is.
This is a true story![]()
