Interesting! I will never again be dismissive of that strange creature who inhabits my world, too. Always showing up in odd places.

I have seen mounted Jackalopes from a young age, but never knew the origins. Great essay and research, Jess!

Interesting western myth. I was unaware of its beginnings and especially the HPV vaccine! Your writing adds a lot of historical and cultural values that I am sure most folks don't know about the famed jackalope.
