What are some cute animals that start with the letters...?

When my babies were born, I made alphabet quilts for them, so I'm right with you here. Q is for Quetzal, which is the gorgeous Guatamalan bird. X is for Xiphias, a sea fish. My boy and I spent one whole afternoon going through the dictionary X's figuring that one out so that is a very fond memory. I remember that N was for a Nuthatch in its nest. Rose-breasted Nuthatches are very satisfactory to embroider, I remember. I cannot for the life of me recall what U and V were.

N could be nightingale, and Q for quokka (looks like a little wallaby).

Some animals that start with V:

* Vaquita (porpoise; sea mammal) * Veery (North American thrush/songbird) * Verdin (small bird with a yellow head) * Vervet (monkey) * Vicuna (South American mammal) * Vixen (female fox) * Vole (small rodent)
