Never mind that jackalopes have long since been confirmed as a hoax.

I made this for 's Creature prompt. My mind quickly found it's way to the subject of cryptids. And I learned something that shocked me (but probably shouldn't have.) Did you know that the platypus used to be a cryptid? Like... way back in the late 18th century/early 19th century. When presented with the carcass of a playtpus, people wrote it off as a sewn together fake. Much like our jackalope friend. Though... again, he really was a sewn together fake...

In other news, I continue on in my never ending quest to learn how to freaking color. This time I tried out some brushes from this water coloring tutorial . It would probably help if I actually knew how to use water colors in real life.
And I borrowed a texture from here .

You know another cryptid? Fucking giant tortoises. Animals had to be bought to London for examination for the scientific community to recognize them at a time, and apparently those fuckers are so goddamn delicious they kept getting eaten on the way.

That's why you ship dragons separately. We love those things.

Nice work Both are so cute. 
I knew that the playtypus was considered too unbelieveable back when it first was seen... but too be fair it is a pretty bizarre animal Its a mammal that lays eggs, has an otterlike body, a ducklike bill, webbed feet and a beaverlike tail... on top of that it also got spurs on its hind legs which is venomous (or well the males do), so really if I did not know it was real I might just be a bit sceptic too Gotta love them though.

Also I love the assumeably less real jackalope... a rabbit with antlers, what not to love :3

Yeah, I'll admit I was pretty shocked when I learned about platypuses for the first time. They're like nature's practical joke, I love them.
Thank you!

Haha, thank you. That's okay, don't feel dumb! I think it's mostly an American thing. A jackalope is basically just a hare with antlers. Someone once taxidermied one together as a hoax.
