 ==Description of Species==
-'''Lepus antilopinae''' is a medium height, four footed, antlered mammal with large ears and eyes. The tail is small and furred.
+'''Lepus antilopinae''' (formerly ''"L. artiodactyla"'' is a medium height, four footed, antlered mammal with large ears and eyes. Large, continuously growing incisors in the upper and lower must be kept short by gnawing. The tail is small and tufted with white fur. Fur covering the body of the specimen is thick, soft and white to grey with brown and black tips. Most of their digestion takes place in their large intestine and cecum. In rabbits, the cecum is about 10 times bigger than the stomach, and it, along with the large intestine, makes up roughly 40% of the rabbit's digestive tract.
 '''Flying Killer Jackalope''' (''Lepus artiodactyla phasianus'' or ''Lepus talopus-calopus'' [from Heraldry]). Flying jackalopes orignate from Wall, South Dakota, and are characterized by wings and a feathered tail.

 ==Appearance in the Wild==
 These most elusive of animals can convincingly imitate any sound, including the human voice. It uses this ability to elude pursuers, chiefly by using phrases such as "There he goes! That way!"
 A jackalope may be caught by putting a flask of whiskey out at night. The jackalope will drink its fill of whiskey and its intoxication will make it easier to hunt. In some parts of the United States it is said that jackalope meat has a taste similar to lobster.
 ==Breeding and Mating==
 ''L. artiodactyla'' is a hybrid resultant from interbreeding of the pygmy-deer and a species of "killer-rabbit". Jackalopes will only breed during electrical storms including hail, explaining its rarity. Female jackalopes can be milked as they sleep belly up and that the milk can be used for a variety of medicinal purposes.
