List of 3-syllable Animals that contain S

    1

    Jellyfish

    Scyphozoa, Cubozoa, Hydrozoa, Staurozoa (classes)

    A diverse group of marine cnidarians with translucent bodies and stinging tentacles — among Earth's oldest animals, with body plans essentially unchanged for 500+ million years and increasingly abundant in warming oceans.

    2

    Octopus

    Octopoda (order — many species)

    An eight-limbed marine cephalopod with three hearts, blue blood, and an extraordinary intelligence — capable of solving puzzles, using tools, and changing color across its entire body in milliseconds despite being colorblind.

    3

    Opossum

    Didelphis virginiana

    North America's only marsupial — a Virginia-opossum surviving and thriving across most of the continent, with a prehensile tail, 50 teeth, and the famous "playing dead" defense.

    4

    Platypus

    Ornithorhynchus anatinus

    An egg-laying, beaver-tailed, duck-billed, otter-furred Australian mammal — among the oddest animals on Earth, with venomous spurs, electroreception, and one of evolution's most surprising survivors.

    5

    Sea Lion

    Zalophus californianus (California); Otariidae family

    An eared seal — distinguishable from true seals by external ear flaps and front-flipper-driven swimming — with vocal "barking" colonies on rocky coasts and a long history of training for circuses, naval programs, and aquariums.

    6

    Tarsier

    Tarsius spectrum and related Tarsius species

    The primate with the largest eyes relative to body size of any mammal — a tiny nocturnal primate of Southeast Asian forests whose enormous, fixed eyes cannot move in their sockets (the animal must rotate its entire head to change direction of gaze); each eye is as large as its brain; it is the only entirely carnivorous primate, eating insects, lizards, and small birds.

    7

    Wildebeest

    Connochaetes taurinus

    A large African bovid famous for the greatest wildlife spectacle on Earth — the annual Serengeti migration, in which over 1.5 million wildebeest cross crocodile-filled rivers in a coordinated mass movement.
