Hi listers -
I see many of you are posting answers to the list. But we were requested to
respond to a party who isn't a subscriber so your great messages are
entertaining the rest of us but probably not reaching the party that asked
for it. (All of us, of course, need information on such unorthodox
wildlife.) Just to be sure the right party gets this significant
information. Their exhibit sounds terrific.
And Chris, just so you know, Douglas, WY is considered the "garden of eden"
for the Jackalope. Or it so considers itself. They have a great bronze
statue there. In truth, the whole jackalope thing was probably concocted by
Steve Friesen even if it were in another incarnation.
