Appearance
The Hakspod (Jenatavios Gluctios) is an animal like no other. This unusual creature can perform many actions and tasks with its spiny back and thin,frail wings. It's normally bright red color can change in the blink of an eye to camouflage the Hakspod and keep it safe from predators.

Species and Habitat
This nervous mammal is the descendant of the North African Sloan bat, which makes it home in hollowed-out Baobab trees. The Hakspod also lives in this home, mainly in the Savannah biome. Many scientists and zoologists interested in studying this animal have taken Baobab trees from Africa and brought them here to the United States, trying to find a way to make them live comfortably in this environment. In the USA, there are about 85 of them living in captivity.

Diet and Food Web
The Hakspod is only an herbivore, mainly eating grasses and weeds. However, this animal is only a primary consumer in the food web, so it is hunted by many animals such as the African wild dog, the lion, the Nile crocodile, the Black mamba, and many other dangerous predators.

Discovery
This animal had gone completely unnoticed for many, many years. On July 17, 1975 Australian professor, Dr. Aaden S. Montgomery, was enjoying a vacation in Uganda. While on his trip, the professor decided that he would like to go on a safari. During a break, he wandered away from the group to investigate a strange creature that he saw lurking near the edge of a puddle. After being scolded from leaving the group, he asked the guide what type of animal it was. The tour guide replied simply “Mimi wa na hakuna dhana!” Or “I have no idea!”  They called in lab officials from South African Society for Animal Science (SASAS). They immediately took the Hakspod in and performed tests to find out more about it. Then, on July 29, 1975, the Hakspod became an official animal of the Savannah biome.

Status Today
Since that day, there have been many more reported sightings, but “not nearly as many as expected”, says Jade Thompson laboratory investigator for SASAS. When experts went to investigate the animal’s status, they officially declared it endangered.
