I'm so curious as to what the rest of the animal looked like: Old Rabbit Foot Pin
aye- thas a Grouse foot.... orr 'talon' tae sum.... orr did ye ken thot an weir jus tak'n a piss?
I placed a bid....I love those grouse kiltpins I already have this one (bad picture...sorry)
I believe that came from the rarely seen Great Highland Flying Rabbit. It is a cousin to the better know US flying squirrel. My wife and I had the pleasure of seeing a flock of them after a night of pub hopping in Tain. At least that is what I thought I saw

Perhaps it's related to the Texas jackalope: Mark
Yes, yes, I've seen those.... Kinda freaky

I do believe that foot comes from the extremely rare Greater Highland Carnivorous Rabbit. They don't live long in captivity because of their vicious nature. A historic account of an encounter between Medieval knights was recreated in Monty Python's "Quest for the Holy Grail" in which there is a horrifying encounter between a knight and a "Vicious rabbit with great, pointy teeth!" :rolleyes:
Thanks for the pic, SB. That clears it up nicely. Pour1, I only found the listing, I didn't set it up! I would have called it a grouse foot, & then I'd been wrong, as SB's pic shows. :rolleyes: We are very proud of our Jackalopes in Texas. The above pic does not, however, display their great size.
