Animals that start with U

U is one of the hardest letters in zoology, which is why this page is short. The umbrellabird holds it: a crow-sized Amazonian bird whose males wear a forward-curling crest over the beak. To call through the rainforest they inflate a feathered wattle hanging from the chest, booming a note low enough to carry much further than ordinary bird song.

6 animals in the library start with U, from the uakari to the uromastyx. Most of them live in South America and Asia.
