A game that I've seen on another forum, we have to go through the alphabet naming animals and giving one interesting fact. When we've finished we have to go through again. No repeats or scientific names (except maybe for X, Q and Z!)

Here we go:

A is for Aardvark

The aardvark is related to Elephants.
 
C is for Cassowary.

The casque on the top of the cassowary's head can be used as a helmet when running through the rainforest.
 
G is for Giraffe (basic, I know ;) )

A Giraffe has the same number of neck bones as a human does - 7
 
I is for ibis.

The sacred ibis was worshipped in Ancient egypt as a god. There was one god called ISIS that had the head of an Ibis.
 
J is for Jaguar

Jaguars kill by biting through the skull and delivering a blow to the brain (unlike some other big cats who target the neck)
 
Long tailed hornbill

This species lives in the jungles of Africa. Taxonomists are divided about where to classify this species. Some believe it should have it's own genus, some believe it should be classed with the Tokus hornbills, and some believe that it should be classed with the white crowned hornbill.

I love some of hese facts. I never knew that about Jaguars, CZJimmy
 
N is for neon Tetra

A very popular fish that you will find in nearly pet shop that sells fish it's hard to believe that they were only discovered in 1936.
 
P is for Polar bear

The polar bear is the largest living predator on land
 
R is for racquet tailed roller

It has a call more like raptors than other rollers due to the complex series of accelerated downslurs.
 
S is for Siberian weasel

It's german name "feuerwiesel" means fireweasel, and refers to it's bright orange/reddish fur
