Penguins, pangolins, and polar bears are some of the first creatures that come to mind when we think of animals beginning with the letter P.
But there are plenty more!
For instance, graceful peacocks display their colorful plumage in a fan-like shape and can be found in the wild in India and at many zoos around the world.
Porcupines use their sharp quills for protection from predators as they feed on nuts, berries, and vegetation.
The gentle giant panda is a beloved vegetarian native to China that loves snacking on bamboo shoots and leaves.
The platypus is an unusual creature with features resembling both ducks and beavers: webbed feet, fur, and a broad tail which all help it hunt underwater for food.
Lastly, prehensile-tailed porcupines have extra long tails that assist them with climbing trees whenever they seek sustenance or safety from potential danger.
When you hear something beginning with this letter ‘P’, pay attention – you may find yourself discovering something new!
