All the petitions being signed and all the animal abuse we read about make for a sad day, so let's bring some fun into the group with this pleasant and easy game.
The idea is to each take a turn using the alphabet, starting with A and name an animal that begins with that letter. Very easy and since Nyack loads us up with information about animals we might not have heard of before, now we have some extra knowledge about different animals' names. 
I'll go first with A.
A is for Aardvark
Boll Weevil (looking for a home, remember that song with Burl Ives?)
B is for Bear
cat bird
Sorry about that
C is for Cat
Great idea Lynn.
C is for cat 
we post at the same time Maria 
D is for dove 
e is for elephant.
F is for Ferret.
A fun idea Lynn, thanks.
G is for gorilla 
Thanks Lynn it's a great idea
H is for hamster
I is for Ibis Thanx Lynn
J is for Jaguar
K is for Kangaroo
L is for Lynx.
M- Marmoset
n-Newt
O is for Orangutan
P is for Panda!
Q is for Quail
R is for rabbit.
S is for Snake.
T is for Tiger
V is for Vaquita Porpoise
W is for whale
X is for Xenopus (a South African clawed frog)
Y is for Yak
Z is for Zebra.
Z is for Zebra!
Less than a minute apart -- we do think alike, Maria! LOL!
again?
A is for Anteater
Lynn can you think of another one we can play?
B is for Bear
It's funny to play this alfabet and there are so much animals
We also can use the B for Bunny 
Can't stop thinking about animals. Englisch is my second language so it's not easy to find one, usually they started with another letter then in Flamisch
C is for Caribou
D is for Donkey
L is for lion
E is for Egret
M is for mole
F is for Frog
We're missing some letters here. Is it cause some posts don't show?
Betty that was funny! lol
E is for Eagle
Sorry the last letter visible to me was D so I went with E. The letters are not in order the way I view it. Oh well it`s just a fun game!! LoL
G is for Gorilla.
I followed on from Dawn M who did 'L'
The last letter I can see is E si I will go with F for fox
H is for Horse 
what a funny game, now we have 2 alfabets or not -
Ok, we got a little off the track here. We have to follow the alphabet, so please try to keep the letters in their proper order.
As far as I can see, the last letter was the one posted by Diane with the letter H, which is following the order of the alphabet, so I'll take it from there with I.
I is for Ibek
Another thing, kiddies....try not to repeat names of animals as we go from the second game to each consecutive game. That makes the game harder, but more fun!
J is for Jackal
K for kitten
L is for Lama
What's wrong? I just posted L is for Lama clicked post reply and never showed. What's going on?
L is for Lemur.
L is for Louses
Don't think you have them please
Thanks Lynn for bringing us back at the good order off the alfabet
M is for Meerkat
The latency problem is terrible today. The latest mail in my inbox was from Maria who did L for Llama, so I'll go on from there.
M is for Mongoose
OMG, this is ridiculous!!!! Care2 is throwing us all off. We have double and triple answers for the same letter. It's almost funny. NOT!
N is for Nile Crocodile. Trying again and hope I`m not out of order this time.
Mette just did N. See if it shows up now.
O is for Ostrich
P for Puma.
Q is for quillpig
R is for Rhinoceros
S is for Stallion
T is for Tapir
Just peeked in and you guys went crazy fast on this game from what I saw. Ummm Stuck on a "U" unless I go for a Scientific Name...But I do have an idea since we sign petitions...How about when you post a Letter someone goes through the petitions and finds petitions that need help for that particular animal...I.E. Stallion would be horses ~ Here's one
Sorry Betty Couldn't get a Tapir one that wasn't closed. Just a thought guys! xoox
U is for Umbrellabird
V is for Vole
Marilyn dear, I signed your petition but would rather not have any more petitions to sign in this thread. By playing this game, we're trying to get away from the heartache we read about when signing petitions. Thank you for the thought and for your hard work in finding a petition that matches one of our letters. Let's get back to the fun!
W is for Wallaby
x is for Xerus ( ground squirrel from Africa)
