AUSTIN (1080 KRLD) - A video from Texas Parks and Wildlife is really turning heads this April Fool's Day.

The video shows pictures of jackalopes jumping and frollicking in a field. It looks like a jackrabbit with antelope horns behind the long ears.

Texas Parks and Wildlife tweeted the video saying in part, "We're excited to announce that Lockhart State Park is now the official home of the State Jackalope herd! The park was chosen to serve as the initial home for the herd due to its ideal ecosystem and proximity to biologists in #Austin."

One picture even shows a lady with kids looking so thrilled to see this make believe creature in person.
