panda
raccoon
dove
fox

As a panda, I'm blander than a gander,
And I prefer a raccoon to a salamander.
The dove is perching on the back of a cute hedgehog.
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.

The siamese kitten was plainly smitten
with labrador puppy in a mitten
whispered the jersey calf sniggering
to the tamworth piglet wiggeling

bluejay, blue wildebeast,blue whale,blue tanager

A bluejay can eat anything
while a blue wildebeast can be king
A blue whale is king around the sea
but a blue tanager can fly weeks just for his key

earthworm
eagle
Eskimo dog
eel

Under the earth the earthworm slides,
Up in the air the eagle glides,
The Eskimo dog's warm breath is a fog,
And the eel's a meal for an Eskimo dog.

Borzois are skinny, I think
An ungroomed cocker spaniel can really stink
The Standard Poodle is snobby and mean
Cardiganshire corgi hangs out with the queen.

The star-nosed mole never understood
the cause of steller sea cow's nasty mood
Tyrannosaurus rex's temper, I understand
His stomping ground's now wood bison's land

Good!

Is the cheetah a female cheater?
Will the cougar try to meet 'er?
Will she escape in a Jaguar XKE?
Or will she make up with the lynx. We'll see.

AHAB sought the great white whale
A Belugas white but rather frail
The collared lemming should be freed
to run among the crcetidae

mola mola swam off in a funk
said 'mephitis mephitis really stunk'
rattus rattus didn't mind the smell
and nanu nanu's pug nose couldn't tell

scrubtit
shikra
goshawk
hooknose

The scrubtit sat in a sycamore tree,
The shikra was shouting 'It should have been me!'
Along came a goshawk and scared them away,
The hooknose stood firm and didn't give way.

I never saw a periwinkle I didn't like
But the whelk at the beach I picked up on my bike
The keyhole limpet were everywhere
And the topshell crab was grasping my hair

A lynx slynx stealthily about the woods
And the magpie really brought home the goods.
I saw an ostrich running along
And the owl was singing his plaintive song.

The hare stared at his crossed-eyed duplication
At jack rabbit, his twin for the occasion
Dogfish, it seemed, had stopped the amputation
Of lucky feet and eye of newt - mutation

A shrew can be a viper
A plover can be a piper
A sloth is very lazy
A kite can be quite crazy.

Uintathere
Utah prarie dog
A very smartly dressed white-throated wood rat
Married a Western gray squirrel in an organza hat
A uintathere can't be the best man
But maybe the Utah prairie dog can.

scared by the orc, up into the trees

The reindeer is drunk and has a red nose
The elks have a lodge where the beer drinker goes.
The moose have a drinking lodge too,
Everyone's allowed except the caribou

There's a white footed mouse attached to my computer
The kingfisher is cute but the wapiti is cuter.
Knock on the door and see the vole appear,
Looking as good as a Virginia deer.

said the mole, I'm blind 'cause it's dark down here
well come up and look for the okapi's striped rear
he's hanging with orangutan, somewhere near
unlike the zho who's trembling in fear
