The Habits Of Cabbits
After taking a trip down memory lane to visit the jackalopes, I found evidence of another fantastic creature, one of which has apparently been spotted in my first home town of Cuba, Missouri. Like the jackaplope, the cabbit has its origins based in rabbitdom, and though its existence as a hybrid has been soundly pooh-poohed by zoological experts, sightings of cabbits continue to be reported all over the planet. Articles such as this one have whipped some people into a frenzy and they are demanding the cessation of animal experimentation on these creatures. Still other people are just demanding to have a cabbit pet of their own. Anime fans now have a cabbit character to enjoy from the Tenchi Muyo series--Ryo-Ohko. Note that this particular subspecies of cabbit seems to have much more pronounced ears that the former varieties--here's a plush version.
So now we're left to ponder. If a jackalope and a cabbit mate, do they produce jackcabbits or cabbilopes?
