Jackalope - American Wolpertinger?
Fun facts about a Bavarian "hero": The famed and fabled horned rabbit/squirrel or whatever animal - the Wolpertinger.
In Germany, especially in the Southern Free State of Bavaria, they're called "Wolpertingers". Just like their American counterpart - the Jackalope, Wolpertingers come in different "breeds", so to speak. The base animal form may be a marten, a rabbit, or even an owl. Subsequent cross-breeding may bring surprising results. See these great images of some of the prettiest wolpertingers around!

Wikipedia Has Info On Anything - Even "Wolpertinger"!
There are differences to the American Jackalope...
The Wolpertinger (Crisensus bavaricus) (also called "Wolperdinger", "Poontinger" or "Woiperdinger") is a fictional animal said to inhabit the alpine forests of Bavaria in Germany. It has a body comprised from various animal parts ? generally wings, antlers, and fangs, all attached to the body of a small mammal. The most widespread description is that of a horned rabbit or a horned squirrel. It is similar to the Rasselbock of the Thuringian Forest, or the Elwedritsche of the Palatinate region, which is described as a chicken-like creature with antlers; additionally the American invention of the Jackalope, as well as the Swedish Skvader are similar creatures to the Wolpertinger.
Stuffed Wolpertingers, composed of parts of actual stuffed animals, are often displayed in inns or sold to tourists as souvenirs in the animals' "native regions".
A word from Forest Master Keem...
...about some cultural background:
Yet, they travel South during the summer months to spend their vacation time around our breathtakingly beautiful lakes, forests and hills. Again and again, they will grossly underestimate the alcohol tolerance of their pale and skinny bodies, so that after a few hours in one of the thousands of beer halls and tents operating during the season, our beefy studs in lederhosen have to load their bony behinds on their shoulders and carry them back to their hotels.

The Revenge...
...utilizing a very useful little critter
Of course, we Bavarians are smart. Here's what we do to get back at our friends from the cold North:We invite their pretty young women to go Wolpertinger hunting with us, and there's only one way to do this. Around midnight, we take a burlap sack and a candle to a secluded spot in the forest. There we put the sack on the ground, spread it open with a couple of twigs, and place the lit candle in front of it. Now, Wolpertingers are by nature very curious beings. They see a light, and they must know what's going on there. When they get close to the opening, it's easy to just throw the sack over them and trap them inside.
While we are waiting for a Wolpertinger, we need to hide quietly in a comfortable spot nearby, crouching together very closely. It may take quite a while until a suitable subject shows up (only WE know he will NEVER come), and one can easily see how such a slightly frightening but also quite romantic setting can lead to further interesting developments...
Extreme mating habits
Ever wonder why there are so many different varieties of Wolpertinger and Jackalope?Here's why: = = = = = = = = = = = = =>
Hunter's protection
When Wolpertingers get upset (for any reason, that is) they bite. A true hunting professional is properly prepared for that. Little known fact:
Wolpertinger oil supports hair growth. This might not be a scientifically proven fact, but it's nevertheless untrue. For the adult user
An old Bavarian saying goes:A spoon of finely-ground horn every day -
no wonder you can't keep the ladies away...
