description:
|
This rabbit, while not part of the collection, was brought to the museum in the early 1900's for inspection. According to Head of Zoology and Curator John Demboski, this is caused by a virus related to the family of human Papilloma viruses (HPVs) and thought to be the basis for the Jackelope myth.
