Animals

Question

Hi, I'm trying to complie a list of animals, birds, fish, any creature beginning with the letters of the alphabet.

I have quite a few and accounted for every letter but three! I can find none beginning with the letter 'I'. As for 'W' and 'K' I'm sure there are none, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

Saludos.

Answer 1

I cheated (i.e. used a dictionary), of course

La palabra "wapití" procede de la lengua Shawnee y significa "nalgas blancas", en referencia al color de sus cuartos traseros (Wikipedia). Hmmm, interesting.

Answer 2

If you still need any, here's a couple that may need naming

Actually the next one is already named and is apparently a real creature

Answer 3

Iguana

W and K are rarely used in Spanish, and mainly just for foreign loan words, so I think you could justifiably exclude them from your list.

Answer 4

Íbice, íbis, iguana, karakul, koala, krill, wapití, welsh terrier.

This was fun.

Answer 5

Koala, of course! Nice one, V.

I didn't think of wapití because I had seen it spelled as uapití.

Answer 7

By the way, krill in Spanish is spelled with only one L: el kril.

Answer 8

Just a quick question, out of interest. Did anybpdy find a creature in Spanish beginning with the letter 'X'?

I found just one!

Answer 9

I find "xumil" and "xilófago", but I don't think either counts as a species. James, I'm not sure, but it seems that Krill can be written both ways: Wikipedia / [url=http://buscon.rae.es/draeI/SrvltGUIBusUsual'TIPO_BUS=1&LEMA=krill]RAE dictionary[/url]. Ah, and Kermes also wanted to be counted among the little buggers starting with K.
