Unless something is done, and done soon, the entire Squifalous species will be destroyed. The loss of this lovable creature would be a great crime against nature.
This wonderful creature, which resides all over the globe, has been slowly driven from its natural habitats by pollution, sport hunting, and industrial and residential development. It will soon be wiped off the face of the planet.
The Squifalous lives on nearly every continent on earth and until only recently it numbered in the millions. The largest group of the species, Squifalous habilius, lived in the regions between the Arctic Circle and the Equator in the Americas. The lesser known Squifalous hyperborean lived north of the Arctic circle.
