The jackalope is a mythical animal that is said to inhabit the American West. It is often described as a rabbit with antlers, combining elements of both a jackrabbit and a pronghorn antelope.

Despite its legendary status, the jackalope has captured the imaginations of many people, and has become a popular figure in folklore and popular culture. It is often depicted as a mischievous and elusive creature, capable of outsmarting even the most skilled hunters.

The origins of the jackalope legend are unclear, but it is believed to have originated in the early 20th century as a form of tall tale or practical joke. Today, the jackalope remains a beloved figure in American folklore, and is often used to represent the wild and untamed spirit of the American West.

The bald eagle is a bird of prey found in North America. A sea eagle, it has two known subspecies and forms a species pair with the white-tailed eagle. Its range includes most of Canada and Alaska, all of the contiguous United States, and northern Mexico. Rather than do their own fishing, Bald Eagles often go after other creatures’ catches. A Bald Eagle will harass a hunting Osprey until the smaller raptor drops its prey in midair, where the eagle swoops it up. A Bald Eagle may even snatch a fish directly out of an Osprey’s talons. Fishing mammals (even people sometimes) can also lose prey to Bald Eagle piracy. The bald eagle is actually a sea eagle (Haliaeetus species) that commonly occurs inland along rivers and large lakes. The adult male has a wingspan of 2 metres (6.6 feet). Females, which grow somewhat larger than males, have a wingspan of 2.5 metres (8 feet).

The Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana), also known as the North American opossum, is the only opossum living north of Mexico, its range extending south into Central America. It is the northernmost marsupial in the world. In the United States and Canada, it is typically called a possum, ‘possum or opossum. It is a solitary nocturnal animal about the size of a domestic cat, and a successful opportunist.

Opossums are familiar to many North Americans as they frequently inhabit settled areas near food sources like trash cans, pet food, compost piles, gardens or housemice. Their slow and nocturnal nature, and their attraction to roadside carrion, makes many roadkill.
