I can say for a fact that those of the Whale Shark caught by Charles Thompson are not a hoax and are very true. I know this because this is actually my Great Great (I believe only 2 greats) Uncle. He really did catch the Whale Shark and those are real pictures. Also if anyone happens to see any of those old post cards on ebay or anything would you let me know (just put a response on here) because I have been looking for some good pictures or any other item for my geneology history line I am trying to create, and they would go great with the rest of the information i have gotten from my grandparents. Thanks!

Truly is amazing how some folks don’t even fully read the postings before commenting.

Eh, Rabbits can be litter trained.

Also the black and white photo to me looks fake. The way the skin stretches down from the head towards the back looks odd to me. Not that I would know how a dead shark out of the water would really look like.

Andrew-
you wouldn’t want one. Have you seen the kind of mess a normal size rabbit makes? Now imagine if it should..um..relieve itself while you’re waiting in the drive-thru!

There is nothing quite as awe-inspiring as a whale shark. Great postcard.

As to the Jackalope photograph:

The postcard is real. Here is a more detailed article on the colossus catch.

I have a great recipe for Jackalope eggs. If anyone is interested. What, you don’t think Jackalopes lay eggs? Show me a Jackalope and I will show you its eggs.
