You don't have an invertebrate yet, so maybe one for "R"?

You know those animal alphabet books that you have as young child? Well you have been placed in charge of creating the animal alphabet book that the next generation will be raised on. Pick an animal for each letter of the alphabet to make the ABC animals of the future!

Rules:

  • All letters of the English alphabet must be included.
  • Try to represent animal diversity.
  • Animals do not have to be at species level (you could do "B is for Butterfly" or "F is for Frog" if you wish).
  • Each animal must be only one word (you can't do "S is for Sumatran Rhino" or "A is for Association Europeenne pour l'Etude et la Conservation des Lemuriens' Sportive Lemur"). You can use animals with a hyphen in their name (if you wish, you may do "A is for Aye-Aye" or "M is for Mata-Mata").
  • Try to include some threatened species so your book has a conservation message.
