Are you in search of some intriguing animals whose name starts with the letter “Y”? We already know about yaks and yapacas, but let’s take a look at some of the less well-known ones.
The yellow-bellied marmot is a small mammal native to North America. During winter, they snuggle up in their dens whereas during summer they feed on things such as nuts, fruits, grasses and mushrooms.
The yellow-billed cuckoo is an eye-catching bird found in South America that has its wings shrouded in black and a striking yellow beak – it mainly feeds on insects such as caterpillars and grasshoppers.
The yellow-footed rock wallaby is a marsupial from Australia that can be found near rocky areas where it consumes vegetation. And not to forget the yellowhammer – these sparrows inhabit Europe and Africa, leaping from tree branches while seeking out seeds or bugs for meals.
