List of 5-letter Animals that end with A

    1

    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.

    2

    Hyena

    Crocuta crocuta (spotted); Hyaena hyaena (striped); Hyaenidae family

    A powerful African scavenger and predator with the strongest bite force of any mammal — capable of crushing bones, organized in matriarchal clans of up to 80 individuals, and far more an active hunter than the scavenger reputation suggests.

    3

    Koala

    Phascolarctos cinereus

    A slow, eucalyptus-eating Australian marsupial with thick fur and a specialized digestive system, often called a "bear" but unrelated to true bears.

    4

    Llama

    Lama glama

    A South American camelid domesticated for cargo, wool, and meat by Andean civilizations — sure-footed at extreme altitudes, with a tendency to spit at threats and a deep cultural place in Inca religion.

    5

    Panda

    Ailuropoda melanoleuca

    A black-and-white bear that subsists almost entirely on bamboo despite a carnivore's digestive system, and the international symbol of wildlife conservation.

    6

    Saiga

    Saiga tatarica

    A bizarre-looking antelope with an oversized, bulbous nose that filters dust and warms cold air on the Central Asian steppe; one of the most ancient living mammals, surviving alongside woolly mammoths, and now critically endangered after a catastrophic 2015 die-off killed 200,000 animals in three weeks.

    7

    Zebra

    Equus quagga

    The most common and widespread zebra species, a grazing horse with vivid black-and-white striping that lives in family bands across the African savanna.
