Mickel 629 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Not much different to the dolphins in NT or North Queensland. Further south, in my neck of the woods, it’s either a dolphin or erm... white pointer. 2 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rodger Pettichord 4,997 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Okay, the joke has run its course. Forgive me fellow conspirators, but in the interests of Forum civility, I'm letting everyone in on the joke. A jackalope is not a real creature. It is a tourist come-on invented by a taxidermist, who took horns from a dead prairie antelope and stuck them on a dead prairie jackrabbit as a joke on tourists who were coming from the east to experience the "real" west. The joke is still popular, and "jackalopes" can be purchased at tourist traps east-west from Minnesota to Montana, and north-south from North Dakota to Texas. The Canadian dolphin shown above, on the other hand, is quite real. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stillwater 13,554 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 What a great National Geographic-post here, thanks Karl for this initiative. We don´t have dolphins here in Germany, the most exotic animal probably is the Wolpertinger https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolpertinger 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
