Many animals across the globe start with the letter N. Here are a few that you may have heard of or never known about before.
The Natterjack Toad, found in Europe and North Africa, is distinguishable by its loud croak; it usually spends time near ponds and wetlands.
The Nightingale has a melodious song that it sings primarily at night and can be found in parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa; this bird has been an inspiration for poets and musicians alike.
Found in the Arctic Ocean around Greenland, Canada, Russia, and Norway is the Narwhal — famed for its tusk that can grow up to 8 feet long! The tusk serves as protection against predators while also being used for socializing.
Nutria are aquatic rodents native to South America but now endemic globally. They prefer living close to water sources where they feed on plants such as leaves and stems — sometimes even fish or insects!
Rounding off this list is the Numbat which calls eucalypt forests in Australia home. Its spotted fur makes it stand out from other wildlife; however, its diet rendered them vulnerable when non-native species arrived due to insufficient food sources.
