Today is World Animal Day so I thought we could play a fun new game all about animals because who doesn't love animals?😄

We’re going from A to Z so one animal for each letter of the alphabet.

How It Works:

  • Start with the next letter in the alphabet.
  • Comment with an animal that starts with that letter.
  • Bonus points if you have a fun fact or a cute photo of your animal

I’ll start…

Armadillo!
(They are the only mammals that have a body covered in a hard shell)

What will B be?

A very high quality photo of a real life armadillo

    Baboon!

    No bonus points for me, it's far too early for fun facts. 😆

    Chimpanzee!

    A fun fact about that them is that they are one of the few animals that can recognise themselves in the mirror😄

    Immortal Jellyfish.

    Though biologically immortal, they usually end up dying to disease or predation.

    Koala

    blob:https://forum.scope.org.uk/214f8ec4-3b98-4c54-ba29-667621c82eb8 There was an error displaying this embed.  KOALAS DON’T HAVE TO DRINK (MUCH) WATER

    Their name comes from the Dharug Aboriginal word and means “no drink." And in fact, Koalas don’t need to drink very much water because most of their hydration needs are satisfied by their dietary staple, eucalyptus leaves. They can and do drink from creeks and water holes if necessary, but if you see a koala drinking, it’s probably in distress.
