The piglet squid looks like it comes from the same part of the world as the Jackalope! [ Linked Image]

How magnified are your works O Lord, the earth is filled with thy creation!
Even the great and spacious sea, therein are things creeping innumerable,
Small living creatures with the great.
There go the ships; there this dragon, whom Thou hast made to play therein I wonder if King David had the piglet squid in mind when he wrote that.

Anhelyna- I hope you don't buy into the internet myth that there is no jackalope. Growing up in the American west, I know people who told me their experiences hunting them. You can even buy mounted heads and antlers of this creature here [ cabelas.com] and here [ cabelas.com]. Exotic rabbits are no laughing matter. A man in armor was one killed by one such rabbit - the footage is out there if you care to look. The animal was so dangerous that they needed a hand grenade to kill it. Markos

'Twas the Book of Armaments, was it not, wherin the method of dealing with such beasts was put forth?

I am a great animal person, but somehow I find this little tidbit rattling around my head this morning (cover your eyes, Anhelyna!):
A man is caught, by a forest ranger, sitting at a make-shift campfire deep in the woods and, to the ranger's horror, eating a bald eagle. The man is arrested for the crime. On the day of his trial, the conversation went something like this:
JUDGE: �Do you know that eating a bald eagle is a federal offense?�
MAN: �Yes, I do. But if you let me argue my case, I'll explain what happened.�
JUDGE: �Proceed.�
MAN: �I got lost in the woods. I hadn't had anything to eat for two weeks. I was so hungry. Next thing I see is a bald eagle swooping down at the lake for some fish. I thought that if I followed the eagle, I could perhaps steal the fish. I caught up with the eagle, which had landed upon a tree stump to eat.
�I threw a stone toward the eagle, hoping he would drop the fish and fly away. Unfortunately, in my weakened condition, my aim was off, and the rock hit the eagle squarely on the head and killed it.
�I felt terrible! But then I thought long and hard about what had happened, and I figured that since I killed it, I might as well eat it since I was starving and it would be more disgraceful to let it go to waste.�
JUDGE: �The court will take a recess while we consider your testimony.�
Fifteen minutes go by and the judge returns.
JUDGE: �Due to the extreme circumstance you were under and because you didn't intend to kill the eagle, the court will dismiss the charges.�
The judge then motions to the man to approach. The judge leans over the bench and whispers: �If you don't mind my asking, what does a bald eagle taste like?�
MAN: �Well, your honor, it�s a little hard to describe. The best I can explain it is this: it�s somewhere between a California condor and a spotted owl.�
