Feroose
/ fehr • oos /
I slip through shadows quick and sly,
Yet lift my antlers to the sky.
With nimble paws and towering frame,
I walk both stealth and strength the same.
Through marsh and wood I roam at night,
A silent ghost, half dark, half light.
Cross my trail and you’ll deduce,
Sharp wit is gifted by Feroose.

*ABSLTLY AMZNG ANMLS used several resources to determine which of our featured ANMLS were “threatened” or “thriving.” (Those are our project’s terms for animals spanning “endangered” to “population increasing.”) For starters, we invite you to compare our information with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
