Animals A to Z

The following list has some of the most common animals we tend to know about.  It’s also lots of fun to make A to Z lists of each of the five animal classes of amphibians, birds, fish, mammals, and reptiles. You could even go into more detail with A to Z lists of the many different types of animals that include bears, bees, birds, cats, dinosaurs, dogs, fish, frogs, owls, sharks, and whales (i.e. humpback whale, orca whale, killer whale). Visit your local library to find books on these and many more animals, or use your favorite online search engines. 

Two websites that do a great job of detailing many of the animals on this list are A-Z Animals - a-z-animals.com/animals and Animal Planet’s Wild Animals A to Z - animal.discovery.com/animals/wild-animal-guides.html
