Description
Common Name: Jackalope

Scientific Name: Cornungulas spp.

Length: 1.1 to 2.3

Weight: 45.4 to 68

Diet: Grass and leaves

Distribution: The open grassland of the Congo Savannah in Africa

Lifespan: 10-12 years

Description: The jackalopes are a genus of herbivores that make a large amount of the grazers of the Congo Savannah. These mammals are evolved from the rabbits of Europe and have now taken the place of many of Africa’s great hoofed grazers. The jackalopes have taken the place of the ancient antelopes that lives 40 million years ago. Since the antelopes evolved into giant beasts, the rabbits were able to take over the space left vacant.
The jackalopes have a very similar pattern and coloration to the ancient gazelles. The coloration helps it confuse predators when they are in large herds. Unlike other hoofed lagomorphs, these animals have two horns on the top of their head. These horns are used to defend themselves from predators and the males use them to fight for mates. They have hoofed feet that are made of their middle two toes. These hoofs help them reach top speeds rather quickly and this helps them run away from the many predators on the Congo Savannah. They all live in large herds which help protect them against predators because they have more eyes looking for carnivores.
As mentioned previously, these large lagomorphs fight for mates with their horns, unlike other hoofed lagomorphs. Most hoofed lagomorphs, even the ones who have developed horns, fight by using their hoofs to basically box their opponents. This behavior could be seen as the hares and kangaroos of the far past. However, these lagomorphs ram into each other with their horns. The most brutal fights can lead to severe head trauma, broken limbs, or even death. However, most of them don’t end in serious injury.

P.S. This is the last animal I’m drawing that lives in the Congo Savannah. The next few animals are going to live in the Great Australian Plain, so stay tuned for that.
