I believe that came from the rarely seen Great Highland Flying Rabbit. It is a cousin to the better know US flying squirrel. My wife and I had the pleasure of seeing a flock of them after a night of pub hopping in Tain. At least that is what I thought I saw

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!"

:rolleyes:

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.
