There was an episode of mysteries at the museum that went into the jackalope history, that it's actually based on real science that there is a certain kind of fungus that hardens into like a horn shape on top of rabbit's heads. They managed to find a horn fragment grind it up use water to make a paste and put it on the top of another rabbit's head and sure enough it grew.

There's also a rabbit papilloma virus that causes horn-like tumors to grow from the rabbit's face and head that some believe also explain the jackalope sightings.

0:19 cross between a hare and an antelope. Antelopes r native to Africa and parts of Asia. Some scientist thorize that rabbits with a form of leporid disease that causes abnormal bone growth is responsible for the stories.

[@ryanomalley3705]

Pronghorn are colloquially called antelope so that might explain it. Although IDK if it's always been the case.

Ah yes the might Jackalope . Friend to all jumping sheep (To those who don’t get the reference it’s from the Pixar short called Boundin where a Jackalope gives encouragement to a jumping sheep who was feeling down after being shaved.)
