List of 2-syllable Animals that contain F

1

Ferret

Mustela putorius furo

A domesticated polecat used for centuries to hunt rabbits — popular as a curious, energetic pet, with strong predatory instincts and a reputation for both companionship and mischief.

2

Fossa

Cryptoprocta ferox

Madagascar's apex predator — a cat-like carnivore related to mongooses that can climb trees with equal agility going up or down, hunts lemurs by leaping through the forest canopy, and is the largest carnivore native to Madagascar; despite resembling a cat, it is more closely related to civets.

3

Maned Wolf

Chrysocyon brachyurus

The giraffe-legged wolf of South American grasslands — an unmistakable canid with improbably long legs, reddish-orange fur, a black mane, and large ears; the maned wolf is not closely related to wolves or foxes, being the sole member of its genus; it is an omnivore that eats more fruit than meat, and the wolf-apple (lobeira fruit) forms a large part of its diet.

4

Starfish

Asteroidea (class)

A radially symmetric marine invertebrate (more correctly called a sea star) with hundreds of tube feet, the ability to regenerate lost arms, and a unique digestive system that turns inside-out to feed.
