I saw a purple moth flutter by
And realised it was a butterfly
A crow laughed down from a tree,
The dove gave an olive branch to me.

lynx follows, as he hunts his prey
meercat's on guard, watching all day
warthog's snooting, out in the bush
snowgoose flies south, in such a rush

I've never seen a lynx yet
And I never heard a meercat bet
But I wonder if a warthog sees
A snowgoose for his meal instead of bees

Swat, said the sultan, as he whapped the mosquito.
right before brushing Horsefly away from the Cheeto.
Larva met larva and went for a walk,
Centipede came too, in order to stalk.
Screwworm frowned, no room in the tin
as woodchuck turned tumbling the scraps in the bin;
Polecat screeched and annoyed all around
as lamb with his mama avoided the sound.

A lowly peahen threw away her brown feathers -
A cocky rooster crows loudly in all weather.
A fluffy yellow chick always goes cheep,
A quail or partridge seldom go cheap.

Where is that bandicoot?
I forgot to tell blue tit to move or I will shoot.
Beware of that hedge sparrow!
My Texas walking horse has won a ribbon of yellow.

The fur round my collar is rabbit so soft
And the yak like to roam in the mountains aloft.
An egret flew seven times over my house
Saying 'I'm dive-bombing you so duck or grouse!"

Musquash ate pumpkin baked in a pie,
mole skittered over the stones now awry,
since marmot returned with marmelade toast
and muskrat rambled sideways, o'er to the coast.

It's a fishy business said the Clam,
To the Crab as they sat to eat their ham.
The Crayfish has killed my friend the whale,
And the Scallop, accomplice, is now in jail.

quail prefers ground, disdaing the air
partridige hides, in the forest so fair
listen for pheasant and harken his call
search for guineafowl, his shadow so small

The black stallion snorted and galloped away,
The bull saw a red rag and thought he would play,
The stallion found a palomino mare,
And the bull found a cow - she's standing right there.

The golden carp shone brightly,
the plaice and chips were fried just rightly.
The halibut brooded, being ignored,
the swordfish thought, "I have my sword."

Oh crap...
The llama loved his dalis,
the cat said what of pussy's follys?
The dog said "I don't give a crap."
The yeti got lost with the map.
Hopefully, my list remains.

Ceili, sorry, but you have to use my words. Your list has been used.
Cav took off somewhere and this whole thing is coming apart at the seams.
I'm not playing games with Canadians anymore.

Just because I missed a post doesn't make my list invalid (it was used by you there gustav):
hammerhead shark
alasaur
clown fish
manta ray
Yes indeedy, we proceed from gustav's list:
pony
duck
another duck
cat
Incidentally gustav, 'Canadian' does not count as an animal, should you feel the urge to put it in one of your future lists.
