The Jackalope, Texas and California, USA


North America's largest hare, jackalopes measure about 0.8 meters tall, the tail is between 50-112 mm and the ears are 10-13 cm long, with deer-like antlers. As it is an Awakened true hare, the jackalope is lankier and leaner than a rabbit, has longer ears and legs, and its leverets are born fully furred and open-eyed. Both sexes look alike, but the female is the larger of the two sexes.



The Drop Bear, Australia

For those readers who may not be familiar with the Aussie dropbear menace, these terrifying creatures, a distant cousin to koalas but much larger (almost the size of an American grizzly) and with sharp claws and fangs, generally hide in trees during the day, sleeping on the upper branches out of sight. But in the evening and throughout the night, they hunt by waiting for an unsuspecting victim to walk under the tree - at which point they drop from the branch (hence the colloquial name "dropbear") and begin savaging their prey with claws and teeth in a frenzy of violence. Once the victim has been mauled to death, the dropbear will then eat its fill and move on to a new tree, leaving the corpse lying there like a sack of red rags. Usually dropbears attack smaller prey such as kangaroos and cattle, but they will also attack a full-grown human with no hesitation.
