Hello Charlie,
Katy and I thought you might like to see what a real Jackalope looks like. They say there are very few around and hard to catch. Katy and I will be going to Mt. Rushmore and then to Yellowstone Park later this trip. We will send you some more cards. Love Katy and Bruce
Wall, South Dakota
One of the world’s rarest and most unusual animals . . . The FLYING JACKALOPE is most frequently found in South Dakota’s Badlands around Wall. It is extremely shy and capable of blinding speed to escape detection. Because of its evasive nature it has not been considered one of the “endangered species” despite its rarity. This prize photo was taken with a telephoto lens a short way east of Wall.
On your coming visit to Wall Drug Store bring this card and enjoy a free cup of coffee and a free doughnut.
