 A is for Alligator
We alligators have about eighty teeth in our
mouth at a time. Old teeth wear down and fall
out, but we grow new ones. Throughout our
life, we go through about two thousand teeth!
Our bodies also never stop growing.
 B is for Butterfly
We can taste with our feet! When we land on
a plant, we can drum up the leaves with our
feet. Once the plant juices are coming, the
spines at the back of our legs tell us whether it
is the right plant for our babies, caterpillars.
 C is for Camel
Some species of camels have one hump, and
others have two. But did you know that we
have three sets of eyelids and two rows of
eyelashes? They protect our eyes from the
sand.
 D is for Duck
We like spending most of our time in water.
Conveniently, we have waterproof feathers! It
is partly because of their interlocking nature
and partly because of their waxy coverage.
 E is for Elephant
We love water—we bathe, splash and swim in
rivers and lakes. We’re quite good at swimming,
too! We use our trunks as snorkels. Our trunks
are really very useful—we can grasp and lift
things that weigh up to 770 lb or 350 kg!
 F is for Frog
We don’t need to drink because we absorb water
through our skin. There is a bad side to this cool
ability though! We are at a risk of absorbing
pollutions in the water as well.
 G is for Giraffe
We are so tall that an adult human can walk
under our bellies without stooping. Despite living
off leaves and twigs, we are so big and strong
that almost nothing dares attack us.
 H is for Hedgehog
We have about 5000 pointy spines on our
bodies, each of which lasts about a year before
being replaced. We can roll up in a ball so that
even our smooth faces and soft bellies are
protected by spines.
 I is for Ibis
We scarlet ibises get our bright red colour
from the crustaceans we eat. Our long,
slender bills are useful for finding food in the
mud, and for cleaning our feathers.
 J is for Jellyfish
We have very simple bodies without many of the
things other animals have, like bones, eyes, or
even brains. We find food as we float through
the water, catching and stinging small animals
with our tentacles.
K is for Komodo Dragon
We are big lizards that hunt really big prey, and
can eat almost as much as we weigh when we
tuck in. To ensure success when hunting, we use
deadly venom, stored in glands in our jaws.
 L is for Ladybug
We ladybugs are a diverse group of beetles, and
not all of us are red with black spots. Some of us
are yellow, some black, and some don’t even
have spots. What we all have in common is how
we love to eat little garden pests, like aphids.
 M is for Moose
We are the largest kind of deer. Even though
we weigh a lot, we can still walk through snow
and soft mud by splaying out our huge hooves
to act like snowshoes.
 N is for Newt
We live both in the water and on land. One of
our most interesting skills is the ability to regrow
lost body parts, like legs, tails, lower jaws, and
even some major organs.
 O is for Octopus
We octopuses have eight arms… or are they
legs? They’re tentacles! We have some neat
tricks we use while hunting and escaping; we
can squirt ink, change colour and even make
our skin change texture to match rocks and
plants.
 P is for Penguin
We’re birds, but we don’t fly. If you see us
underwater, you will be impressed by how well
we swim, though. What do we do down there?
Catch delicious fish, of course!
 Q is for Quetzal
Plenty of people think we are the most
beautiful birds in the world. We don’t argue!
We make our nests in hollow trees high up
on mountains, where we hide our little blue
eggs until they hatch.
R is for Rhinoceros
A group of us is called a “crash.” You
would know why if you ever heard us
moving through the forest! We can hear
really well, but our eyesight is not very
good.
 S is for Snake
You will never win a staring contest with one of
us. We have no eyelids, so it is impossible for us
to blink! We can eat other animals that you
would never believe would fit in our mouths
though—and we swallow them whole!
 T is for Turtle
How can you tell a girl turtle from a boy turtle?
We have good eyesight , but it is actually our
excellent sense of smell that we use to tell each
other apart, because we tend to look similar.
U is for Umbrella Bird
You would want an umbrella on your head,
too, if you lived in a rain forest! Unfortunately,
there is less and less rainforest for us to live in,
which worries us even more than the monkeys,
snakes and hawks that want to eat us.
 V is for Vulture
Ever wondered how we vultures manage to
chow down on meat so gross it would make
just about anyone else sick? We have
incredibly potent stomach acid, which kills the
germs in rotting meat.
 W is for Whale
When you breathe air and live
underwater, some ordinary things
become tricky. Like sleeping. We whales
can only let one half of our brains sleep at
a time, so that we remember to come up
and breathe once in a while.
 X is for X-Ray Tetra
You don’t need an X-ray machine to see our
bones, because our flesh is actually transparent.
We start out life as eggs, and it can take as little
as 2 days for us to hatch!
 Y is for Yak
We’re really hairy, and that helps us stay
warm even in very cold weather. We help
people stay warm, too—in some places in
Asia, our dried dung is used as a heating
fuel!
 Z is for Zoo
As you may have noticed, we animals are
fascinating! While many of us live in remote
parts of the world, and some of us are even
dangerous to approach in the wild, some of us
can be found in zoos.
