Ginko

Ginko, that’s Jean-co to you and me, or Jean as Ginko’s friends liked to call him, was a wild jackrabbit. He lived on the scrub plains of southwest Wyoming along with about 70,000 other jack rabbits (most of whom were directly related to Ginko) and quite a few well-fed coyotes.
Ginko was three feet tall if he was an inch. Not counting ears.
He loved to sit by highway 189 and scare tourists. They’d see him and just about have accidents.
“Daddy, look!”
Ginko would be off faster than light. He was an expert hider and hid not far from where the tourists would spot him in a hole carefully dug for just that purpose.
“Oh, you did not!”
“Did so!”
“Did not.”
Ginko would just laugh and laugh and laugh.
