The A to Z list

Animals that start with R

R is a letter of mistaken identity. Rabbits are not rodents but lagomorphs, with four upper front teeth instead of two, and raccoons do not wash their food. They feel it, because wetting the paws sharpens the nerve endings in them. The rattlesnake, the red panda and the rhinoceros share the page.

5 animals in the library start with R, from the rabbit to the rhinoceros. Most of them live in Asia and North America.
