Your Alphabet Wishlist

[FlameWizard492]

Basically, you get one animal per letter of the English alphabet (or the alphabet of the language you speak, if any). Personally, I’d focus on whether the animal group name starts with that letter rather than the specific species. You’re welcome to skip X and Z if you’d like. Here’s mine:

• Aardwolf
• Any Bear that we don’t already have
• Coatimundi
• Kirk’s Dik-Dik
• Short-Beaked Echidna
• Black-Footed Ferret
• Gelada
• Rock Hyrax
• Impala
• Golden Jackal
• Kinkajou
• Slow Loris
• Muskox
• Nutria
• Southern Sea Otter
• Gentoo Penguin
• Tiger Quoll
• Greater Rhea
• Serval
• African Spurred Tortoise
• Bald Uakari
• Vicuña
• Pacific Walrus
• Xerus (aka African Ground Squirrel)
• Wild or Domestic Yak
• Zorilla (aka African Polecat

What a great thread idea! Of course not necessarily all our favorites. Working on mine (editing list in progress) Here we go, also alphabetizing by "type" of animal instead of specific species, where possible.

Sagia Antelope

Spectacled Bear

Coatimundi

Mandarin Duck

Elk

Bat Eared Fox

Masai Giraffe

Honey Badger - hopefully this one counts.

Scarlet Ibis

Black Backed Jackal

Grey Kangaroo

Masai Giraffe

Numbat

Eurasian Otter

Brazilian Porcupine

Tiger Quoll

Greater Roadrunner

Shoebill

Tree Kangaroo

Urial

Vicuna

Wolverine

Xolo

Yak

Grevy's Zebra

Some of these were really tough, either because it wasn't easy to pick just one animal (I'm so sorry all the other animals that start with B, S and W!), and some because it was hard to think of an animal (thank you everyone for already supplying a Q, V, Y and Z!)
