A U.S. military veteran claims that he observed a flesh & blood 'Jackalope' in his headlights while driving on a mountain road in the Eastern Anatolia region of Turkey in the Malatya Province.
A retired U.S. military veteran reached out to Legend of America with this encounter in May 2022:
"Greetings. Well, the Jackalope phenomenon isn't mythical, and it's not extinct either. I wish I had a camera, but I am in Malatya, Turkey at the moment. I was driving down a treacherous mountain road 3 nights ago. I was going only about 30 KPH when something came down the hill into the road. I thought at first it was a rock so I slammed on the brakes, but then it hit my headlights.
I had NEVER heard of these before, the most fascinating creature I had ever seen. So naturally, I was quite curious about what kind of animal this was. It was probably 3 feet tall at the back, it ran like a dog but looked like a rabbit, but it had a miniature antler rack on its head that would make the biggest and most majestic buck deer jealous.
I got home and decided to look this thing up on the internet. I was wondering if they were strictly found in this region of the world, only to be met by an onslaught of “it’s fake” “legends” “Myths” and “cryptozoological” (scientific terminology for “fake”), and ONE collaboration site–sort of. This site claimed that all horns grown on a rabbit are cancerous and not calcium. They say that it is tumorous material instead. Whilst this site is correct about cancer-causing tumors, the tumors are ALWAYS misshapen, saggy, and pathetic looking. What I saw were DEFINITELY regal-looking calcified antlers.
So, I guess that I am officially one of the “nut-cases” and “embellished storytellers,” but I KNOW what I saw. I saw it clearly, nothing in my way, not a foggy night. It was very clear, and very well lit up by my headlights." RR
NOTE: Very interesting sighting. Is the Jackalope an actual flesh & blood creature? I'd like to know your thoughts. Lon
