Built in the 1960s, he's eight feet tall and is named "Jack Ben Rabbit."
The rabbit had been moved into storage in a maintenance yard (does this mean that the horribly decayed Prairie Pete Park -- it's old location -- is no more?). Public protest at its absence forced it to be returned to a new location, in front of the Ector County Independent School District Administration Building in downtown Odessa.
The plaque there includes a recipe for Jackrabbit and Dumplings.
This "Best of Texas Festival" photo is from a 2002 appearance at Six Flags in Arlington -- possibly a replica, ambassador jackrabbit to represent Odessa.
