Mara: the September picture for the 2014 CE Murphy photographic calendar.
Maras are South American rodents which look precisely like jackalopes; all they lack are the horns. They’re very very shy and extremely sweet-seeming creatures, but I have no idea, possibly they go all vorpal bunny on you if you get in their faces. :)
It’s a female jackalope! :-)
They’re ALL females!!! Reproduction by parthenogenesis!
