## Mythology

    The Jackalope is a creature of North American folklore, depicting a jackrabbit with antelope horns. They commonly appear in American tall tales, also known as exaggerated stories, and are well-known in the state of Wyoming, where they are deemed the state's official mythological animal. Although debatable, the first appearance of this creature was in the 1800s, when the first Jackalope was allegedly caught by a trapper. Jackalopes are known for being fierce and rough creatures, cautioning hunters to be more careful when in the wild as to avoid getting gored by the animal's antlers.

## Trivia
