Its natural habitat is temperate shrubland. It is threatened by habitat loss.
gollark: I'm probably explaining this badly, hmmm.
gollark: Then set the x^4/x^3/x^2/x^1 coefficients and constant terms on each side to be equal and work out a/b/c/d.
gollark: Set it equal to `(x-1)(ax^3+bx^2+cx+d)` (the thing you know it's divisible by times the generalized cubic thingy), and expand that out/simplify.
gollark: It would be annoying and inconsistent if it was 0. It's 1.
gollark: It's 1, or the nice neat recursive factorial calculation algorithms would stop working.
