Animals Word Search
The list for this puzzle holds seventy animals, nearly all of them mammals, running from aardvark to zebra with narwhal, platypus, wildebeest and wolverine along the way. Free to play online, free to print.
Some of the names are plain description in another language. Aardvark is Afrikaans for earth pig, which is close to fair. Wildebeest is Dutch for wild beast, and the animal is a gnu. Meerkat is Dutch as well, and means lake cat, which it is not - it is a mongoose and it lives in dry ground.
Two of them break the rules of their own class. The platypus is a mammal that lays eggs, and the male carries venom in a spur on its hind leg. The narwhal's tusk is not a horn but a single canine tooth that grows straight through the upper lip, spirals to about eight feet and is packed with nerve endings.
Print it free for a classroom or a long car ride. Online, the grid reshuffles every time you start again.
