What's A Jackelope?

As always: in IT, Google is the other half of your brain.

However, if you can't be bothered to self-educate, here are the facts:

The jackelope (Lepus Temperamentalus) is a mammal native to the North American Great Plains. It is often described as a jackrabbit with antelope horns or deer antlers and sometimes a pheasant's tail and/or hind legs. The word "jackelope" is a portmanteau of "jackrabbit" and "antelope."

The jackelope is a hybrid of the pygmy deer and a very aggressive species of plains rabbit. They are extremely shy unless approached at which point become dangerously territorial.

Their speed, agility, and strong neck muscles combined with comparatively large, sharp antlers make them a match for most predators. Human survivors of jackelope encounters confirm that it is vicious and unrelenting once provoked.

Jackelope milk is a Schedule I narcotic: an opiate roughly twenty-three times stronger by weight than morphine. It is outlawed in many countries, including the United States, leading to a profitable black market.

As female jackelopes sleep belly-up, it is possible to milk them; however the mortality rate of heavily-armed jackelope "milking hunts" is nearly 100%.

The jackelope can convincingly imitate any sound, including the human voice. During days of the Old West, when cowboys gathered by the campfires singing at night, jackelopes could often be heard mimicking their voices.

The jackelope uses this ability to evade hunters via phrases such as "There he goes!" or "That way!"

The most effective way to hunt jackelope is by putting a flask of whiskey out at night. The jackelope will drink its fill and its resultant intoxication will make it (marginally) less dangerous.

Jackelope meat has a taste similar to lobster.
