What is a Wapuu?

In these parts, legend has it that these beautiful, graceful, and mysterious creatures were once plentiful throughout the northern plains of Los Angeles County. First sighted amongst the super blooms along the Grapevine in the early 1800s, a blend of pronghorn antelopes and a wizard’s spell, playful and inquisitive.

But bad weather, the fur trade, and magic hunters pushed Prongaloops towards extinction in Santa Clarita and Antelope Valleys. Recently, reported yet unconfirmed sightings around Magic Mountain, Vasquez Rocks, and grazing along the Grapevine during spring California Poppy season of these Wapuus have sparked a viral sensation on the Internets.
