Mickel Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Not much different to the dolphins in NT or North Queensland. Further south, in my neck of the woods, it’s either a dolphin or erm... white pointer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodger Pettichord Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Okay, the joke has run its course. Forgive me fellow conspirators, but in the interests of Forum civility, I'm letting everyone in on the joke. A jackalope is not a real creature. It is a tourist come-on invented by a taxidermist, who took horns from a dead prairie antelope and stuck them on a dead prairie jackrabbit as a joke on tourists who were coming from the east to experience the "real" west. The joke is still popular, and "jackalopes" can be purchased at tourist traps east-west from Minnesota to Montana, and north-south from North Dakota to Texas. The Canadian dolphin shown above, on the other hand, is quite real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Q Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Jackalope, Wolpertinger! Obviously, the taxidermy business is not doing too well. Taxidermists have left over animal parts, and WAAAY too much time on their hands! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
