The A to Z list

Animals that start with P

P is a page of animals that are not what they look like. A polar bear is not white and has no white fur at all: each hair is hollow and clear, and the skin beneath is black. A peacock’s fan is not its tail but a train of back feathers, and the puma, despite its size, is not a big cat and cannot roar.

9 animals in the library start with P, from the parrot to the python. Most of them live in Asia and Africa.
