What better place to display the fossilized remains of prehistoric Jackalopes than in a museum in Douglas, Wyoming?

Douglas, after all, "discovered" the Jackalope and revealed them to the rest of the world.

From the looks of it, these rare creatures looked a lot scarier about a million or so years ago.

There are rumors of some remains being found with big fangs, like that of the Saber-tooth tiger.

According to University Of Wyoming researchers in the dig around Douglas, they have to be extra cautious when working around these sites because current living Jackalopes don't like humans disturbing the graves of their ancestors.

Weird, angry-sounding noises, often associated with Jackalop calls, can be heard in the distance each time a new set of skeletons is dug up.

So far, nobody has been attacked.

You can visit the Douglas, Wyoming, paleontology museum of sketchy science, Tuesdays through Saturdays during regular business hours.

Make sure to bring your out-of-state friends to see, and have a laugh at their expense.

Also, make them pay to get in so it really is at their expense.

The jackalope became a popular local attraction in Douglas, where the Chamber of Commerce issues Jackalope Hunting Licenses to tourists.

The tags are good for hunting during official jackalope season, which occurs for only one day: June 31 from midnight to 2 a.m.

Douglas is a small town. But still, I'm not sure where the museum is, so, good luck.
