Jackalope: A North American cryptid that has been talked about since American colonial times. The real origin of this creature was a 1930s taxadermied hare with antlers grafted on. Since then, hundreds of similar mounts were created by several people, even into the 21st century. Due to the commonality of these mounts, many people were fooled into believing that jackalopes really existed. They aren’t cryptids in the same way that lake monsters are, but horned rabbits have existed in various cultures for centuries.
