DESCRIPTION:Although the jackalope is an invention of the imagination, its form was 
 inspired by actual “horned rabbits,” animals with a strange disease 
 that causes them to grow long, dark lumps from their faces and heads which 
 resemble horns. Around the time the two young boys were creating the first 
 fake jackalope in Wyoming, Dr. Richard Shope, a Princeton, New Jersey-based 
 virologist, was making his breakthrough about the cause of the horns: a 
 virus…. thus begins On the Trail of the Jackalope: How a Legend Captured
