Skundor
/ skuhn • dor /
I ride loud thunder, vast and high,
A shadow painted on the sky.
Yet should you near my midnight plume,
The air itself becomes a fume.
With wings that stretch from peak to shore,
I guard the winds, forevermore.
To glimpse me once is to explore:
Bold spirits rise with Skundor.

*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).
