The Jackalope was a North American magical animal that resembled a Jack Rabbit with antlers similar to that of a small antelope.[1][2]
History
Its antlers were used as wand cores by wandmakers Isolt Sayre and James Steward in the 17th century.[2]
During the 1989–1990 school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Professor Silvanus Kettleburn taught his sixth years about Jackalopes in Care of Magical Creatures class.[1]
Behind the scenes
- Real world sightings of Jackalopes are commonly reported. These may be inspired by rabbits with the Shope papilloma virus, which causes horn like tumours on the face and body. Stuffed examples are commonly made by taxidemists in region where sighting are reported.[3]
