Perhaps all this cheer is turning you into a Christmas recluse. Perhaps you’re becoming somewhat of a Scrooge and will begin to imitate his famous catchphrase, turning your nose up at the whole period. Perhaps you will feel you have no other choice than to spend Yuletide with the single member of the taxonomic genus the Ba, within the family Charopidae … or in simple terms, a species of small land snail, also known as Ba Humbugi.
The Ba Humbugi is native to the Fijian Island of Viti Levu and is an endangered species. It has a shell with a diameter of 2.30-3.32 millimetres and is a light red-yellow colour. American malacologist, Alan Solem, named the species after creating the genus Ba … because what else goes with Ba other than Humbug?!
