Don’t pet the bunny ~ the great Jackalope cover-up

Known by the ancients as “deerbunnies”, it wasn’t until the early 1960’s that the modern more fearsome name of “jackalope” was adopted.

Excerpt from an interview with former Area 51 employee - “Jackalopes were practically extinct in the 1950’s, but government radiation experiments on jack rabbits at area 51 caused them to grow antlers and become mean. They tried to shut down the project and wipe out all the jackalopes they’d created, but they couldn’t do it. Darn ‘lopes just kept multiplying!”
