    Perhaps it's related to the Texas jackalope:

    I do believe that foot comes from the extremely rare Greater Highland Carnivorous Rabbit. They don't live long in captivity because of their vicious nature.

    A historic account of an encounter between Medieval knights was recreated in Monty Python's "Quest for the Holy Grail" in which there is a horrifying encounter between a knight and a "Vicious rabbit with great, pointy teeth!"

    Thanks for the pic, SB. That clears it up nicely.

    Pour1, I only found the listing, I didn't set it up! I would have called it a grouse foot, & then I'd been wrong, as SB's pic shows. :rolleyes:

    We are very proud of our Jackalopes in Texas. The above pic does not, however, display their great size.

    Ahh g.m. you stole my very thoughts as i read this one! But where i to ever encounter such a beastie...
    "
    Then did he raise on high the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, saying, "Bless this, O Lord, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy." And the people did rejoice and did feast upon the lambs and toads and tree-sloths and fruit-bats and orangutans and breakfast cereals ... Now did the Lord say, "First thou pullest the Holy Pin. Then thou must count to three. Three shall be the number of the counting and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither shalt thou count two, excepting that thou then proceedeth to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the number of the counting, be reached, then lobbest thou the Holy Hand Grenade in the direction of thine foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."

    -- Monty Python, "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"

    Ok everybody lets stop mocking the rabbits.

    Have none of you seen that wonderful nature documentary "Night of the Lepus". When it comes to the bunnies Be afraid! Be very afraid!

    "Bunnies aren't just cute like everybody supposes
    They got them hoppy legs and twitchy little noses
    And what's with all the carrots
    What do they need such good eyesight for anyway?

    Bunnies, Bunnies
    It must be bunnies!"

    Anya, on Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "Once more with Feeling"
