Why jackalopes nibble on the toes of Santa Claus for lunch
          This behavioral study of the endangered jackalope took place at latitude 90 degrees. Jackalopes were observed foraging in an apparently parasitic manner on the area's native human and elf populations. By combining natural history observations with demographic modeling techniques, I have discovered that this species may be teetering on the edge of an extinction vortex.
