The A to Z list
Animals that start with K
K is a letter of corrections. The komodo dragon’s bite was blamed on septic bacteria for fifty years, until researchers found venom glands in 2009. The kingfisher is mostly not a fish-eater either, since the majority of its family hunts in forests. The kangaroo, the koala, the kite and the king cobra (which is not a true cobra) are also here.
6 animals in the library start with K, from the kangaroo to the Komodo dragon. Most of them live in Oceania and Asia.
