THE YALE EXPOSITOR — FEBRUARY 20, 1913
What is said to be the first specimen of an antlered rabbit ever killed was recently shot by a Mexican near San Benito, Texas. It was of the jack rabbit type in all respects except that protruding from its head and fastened to its ears was a set of horns much resembling the antlered adornment of a young buck deer. The longest of these prongs measures nearly seven inches. The other prongs measure one to six inches. It is believed by local authorities that this specimen of the rabbit family is a freak of nature. The head was severed from the body and mounted.
