The A to Z list

Animals that start with S

S is the second-largest letter here and the most varied. It holds the sperm whale, which has the largest brain of any animal that has ever lived and makes the loudest sound any animal makes, and the seahorse, where the male becomes pregnant. The starfish and the spider are here too, and neither is a fish or an insect.

13 animals in the library start with S, from the salamander to the swan. Most of them live in North America and Asia.
