1) Is this a real animal?
2) How can you prove that it?

National Beauty Contest
As the 14th December closing date approaches, members and friends are urged to enter their Stick Insects for the annual Beauty Contest to be judged in the New Year. Please send photocopies of your insects to the usual address.
European Law Change
After intense lobbying, the European Union has finally agreed to recognise Pashmids as insects instead of the previous classification as fruits. This ends decades of misunderstanding.
PM doesn’t “hate insects”
The Prime Minister, Tony Blair, doesn’t “hate insects” as previously reported here. An analysis of seven years’ parliamentary debates has shown that he never once used that phrase in the context implied.
Stick Insects for the Blind approved
The Royal Nation Institute for the Blind (RNIB) has approved the use of Stick Insects for the partially-sighted and visually impaired, although their use as replacements for guide dogs is not being recommended until questions regarding their training can be addressed.
Stick Insect murder investigation
The inquiry into the death of an elderly Phasmid last month is being treated as a murder investigation, said Detective Inspector K L Jackson of Thames Valley Police, although he later claimed to have been joking.
And finally …
The 5th November truly was a day to remember for Mrs E Trellis of North Wales. She took the usual precautions to lock her pets inside before the evening’s celebrations commenced, but neglected to close the upstairs windows. As a result, a stray firework entered her bedroom and set light to the curtains, which in turn ignited some furniture. The emergency services were called to the house and Mrs Trellis suffered 24% burns, but her favourite Stick Insect, Bunty, escaped unharmed. Reunited with her pet last night, Mrs Trellis praised the punctual action of her next-door neighbour Mr John Turncoat, who braved smoke and flame to reach the screaming insect.
“He’s an idiot,” quipped Mrs Trellis.
The Karoo Stick Insect Isnt real at all.
The AntLion insect is real beacause there is a picture on the site that has a picture of it taken by Clemson Unversity
i think all the animals are real except the jakalope because that website doesnt have a lot of information and the others are real because theres a lot of information and because theres pictures of it.
Yes the Hoopoes are real because their is alot of info about them
The jackalope legend in the U.S. is attributed by the New York Times to Douglas Herrick (1920–2003) of Douglas, Wyoming, in 1932. Postcards showing jackalopes were also sold in the U.S. in the 1930s.
Herrick and his brother Ralph had studied taxidermy by mail order as teenagers. A 1930s hunting trip for jackrabbits led to the idea of a Jackalope, according to the Douglas, Wyo., Chamber of Commerce [2].
The brothers returned to their taxidermy shop following the hunting trip. Herrick tossed a jackrabbit carcass into the shop, whereupon it came to rest beside a pair of deer antlers. The accidental combination of animal forms sparked Douglas Herrick’s idea for a Jackalope, according to the chamber.
However, the legend of Horned hares also abounded in European– particularly, German and Austrian– legends as the Raurackl, Rasselbock and Wolpertinger. These legends were possibly inspired by Shope papillomavirus infected rabbits. The many illustrations of horned hares shown in scholarly works by European naturalists in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, may have been similarly inspired. that is why i think its not real1!
Hoopoe
It is real beause I went on google and it had a ton of different sites to describe Hoopoes.
They are also found in Europe, Asia, North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Madagascar.
If you go on these websites they will have so much info on Hoopoes.
