Since there was a cross-over...I'll use Clary's animals for this one, and Ceili's animals will be up for the next one.

fox
wolf
mink
lynx

The quick, clever brown fox
locked that old wolf in a box.
A mink came along and lifted the lid,
so the lynx ate them both, he really did!

donkey
sheep
cow
goat

I once met a donkey hung like a man,
And a sheep in wolf's clothing called Daredevil Dan.
A cow that could talk till the people came home
And goats that you separate all the sheep from.

walrus

Clary, I some times leap before I leap. :wink:

Thanks for covering for me 2wheel Laughing


hare
echidna
walrus
yeti

The hare was bored, he went out for a walk
Saw echidna's spines and suffered shock
Thought his teeth big, then spied Walrus's spikes
Swore he saw Yeti, on long mountain hikes

They say duck is best served, hot on the plate.
And goose, as fattened liver, a spicy pate..................he he, for culinary uninitiated
Don't think I'd want to eat a sparrow hawk
'Cause just like red robins, they might squawk

adder
asp
rattler
cobra

adder,asp,rattler,cobra

I don't like adder or any snake
Can't you see an asp sticking out of a cake
Imagine a rattler moving around in a ball
So as not to disturb the cobra over the wall

groundhog
guppy
heron
hippopotamus

G is for groundhog, who sure has his day,
And G is for guppy with fins all astray.
H is for heron so graceful and tall,
H for hippopotamus, the fattest of all.

whimbrel,corncrake,reed warbler,land rail

I have never seen a whimbrel awake
And I never hope to see a corncrake
I would guess that a reed warbler loves trees
A land rail loves the surface on the ground,please

clownfish
koala
aardvark
zebra

The clownfish rode in on a unicycle with impossibly large boots
The koala followed, riding on a palomino pony with a pair of coots;
Next the aardvark, tubulodontically challenged, with his trainer a human biped
And finally the zebra trotted, gallant, feisty and striped.

The silver jaguar sat on the car's hood
ready to pounce on puma, when he could
Razorbill tried to warn the doomed cat
as humming bird buzzed, please - no combat!

pot belly pig,piglet,sow,hog


I do not want a pot belly pig
A piglet would be cute to dance a jig
And a sow would need to be her litter
But a hog would look funny with glitter

Iggy was an iguana
Loved a mountain goat called Anna
Night owl hooted, Iggy scooted,
Octopus is many-footed.

fireflies
grasshopper
mosquito
grass spider

I was born, and fireflies danced in yellow fire.
A grasshopper will chirrup on my funeral pyre.
In between the fires the mosquito stings,
And in the reeds, the grass spider spins.

The cabbage white butterfly, flits on it's wings
while the peacock butterfly, dances and sings
A hamster listens to the great sounding tune
as the peahen whistles it's harmony in June

Then swan pairs, both pens and cobs.

water buffalo, caribou, bison, nilghai


The water buffalo loves to splash in the lake
While the caribou bathes in the mud that is raked
The bison eats lots of hay
And the nilghai eats in the bay
