On Mardi Gras in 1827, a group of students sported some colorful costumes and danced through the streets of New Orleans, mimicking the revelry they had seen while visiting Paris. Fast forward a decade and the first recorded New Orleans Mardi Gras parade took place, a tradition that (obviously) continues to this day.
The jackalope is a mythical animal of North American folklore (a so-called fearsome critter) described as a jackrabbit with antelope horns. The word jackalope is a portmanteau of jackrabbit and antelope, although the jackrabbit is not a rabbit, and the American antelope is not an antelope.Also, many jackalope taxidermy mounts, including the original, are actually made with deer antlers.ackalope is a portmanteau word that combines two words, jackrabbit and antelope. However, the jackrabbit is not a rabbit, and the so-called antelope is not an antelope. Jackrabbits are actually hares rather than rabbits though both are mammals in the order Lagomorpha.
