Animals that start with T

T is the best letter for sorting out names that get muddled. Tortoises live on land, sea turtles in the ocean and terrapins in fresh water, though scientifically all three are turtles. The tuatara is the real outlier: not a lizard at all, but the last survivor of an order that split from lizards and snakes around 250 million years ago, before the first dinosaurs appeared.

9 animals in the library start with T, from the tarsier to the turtle. Most of them live in Asia and North America.
