== Description ==
Adult weight: ~five tonnes
Height at the shoulder: ~easily three meters
Features: wooden antlers that shed to provide tool material and firewood, and grow brightly coloured fruit
Reproduction: sexual in normal, harsh desert environment, asexual via fruit seeds in times of great abundance. 
Gestation: one year, one kit (baby bunny) per birth
Lifespan: ~90 years, matures at about 20
Ecology: Due to the great energy they spend producing the fruit and antlers, jackalopes reproduce very slowly. Like horses, they’re poorly adapted for the humidity and insect-bourne diseases of wet climates, but can handle deserts and tundras quite well. Their numbers tend to slowly decline in normal conditions, only to bounce back in anomalous years when the desert receives rain and thousands of tiny bunny-sprouts will pop out of the ground. A few of these will make it to adulthood.Chopstick Eyes creates Jackalopes - https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4877304
