Animals that start with Y

Y is a single-animal letter here, and the yak is a good one to have. It lives higher than almost any other large mammal, grazing above 18,000 feet in the Himalayas where the air holds around half the oxygen found at sea level. Its blood carries far more red cells than cattle, and its lungs and heart are proportionally larger.

6 animals in the library start with Y, from the yabby to the Yorkshire terrier. Most of them live in Oceania and Asia.
