Hi guys, big fan of the podcast btw! This spec-evo of the Jackalope got me thinking about all the different inspirations for the Jackalope. Like on the deer side, there’s Asian water deer, pudu, brocket deer, muntjacs (which have antlers and tusks!), tufted deer, and that’s just the true deer. Then the bovids have duikers, dik-diks, klipspringers, royal antelope, four-horned antelope, steenbok, and oribi. Then there’s the chevrotains and musk deer, not to mention the extinct artiodactyls. One angle I kind of like is the idea of the Jackalope being a species of dwarf pronghorn, Capromeryx, that survived past the ice age. Great stuff you guys do!
Just starting to listen to this episode. I'm very curious to hear how many references I'm familiar with as a relatively recent transplant to South Dakota. 😂
You are right! Just forgot while editing this season. It's been fixed on Podbean and Patreon but TH-cam doesn't allow us to upload new audio. So just gonna have to remain a mistake on here. But thank you for saying something, this comment is what let us know to fix it elsewhere.

When vacationing with my family at Yellowstone, there was jackalope culture a plenty, despite the presence of real, actually fascinating fauna.

I thought that the Cute-E episodes had a different intro to reflect cuteness
