Spoizard
/ spoy • zrd /
Through canyon walls I twist and dart,
Leather wings and scaly heart.
Over stone my shadow creeps,
I guard the secrets darkness keeps.
I leap from cliffs to desert floor,
Both scale and wing forevermore.
Should you see me, fate’s assured—
Cunning walks with Spoizard.

*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).
