Jackalopes are known to roam in groups.Group's composing of Possible older babies that have never left the parents. Pairs male and female stay together for life and both along with other family members take part in young rearing and teaching the young .
Jackalopes are Extremely smart and witty they love to play pranks on people and have been known to fall over laughing, They are also said to love a hard drink ,it's no wonder they are friends of the leprechauns. they will imitate peoples voices into luring them into their tricks but they also are know for having a kind heart in saving other animals and lost people.
