List of 6-letter Animals that contain G

    1

    Galago

    Galago senegalensis (and related species)

    The bush baby of African nights — small, doe-eyed primates with enormous forward-facing eyes for night vision, vast membranous ears that fold flat when resting, and extraordinary leaping ability; galagos can jump up to 2.25 metres in a single spring using powerful back legs; their plaintive cry in the African night sounds disconcertingly like a crying human infant, giving rise to the name bush baby.

    2

    Gelada

    Theropithecus gelada

    Ethiopia's grass-eating monkey — the only primate that feeds primarily on grass, living in the high Simien Mountains in bands of hundreds that graze like sheep; males have a dramatic hourglass-shaped bare red chest patch that flushes brighter during excitement and serves as a substitute for the rump displays used by other primates.

    3

    Gibbon

    Hylobatidae (family)

    A small, tail-less Asian ape that swings through forest canopies with extraordinary grace — the smallest of the apes, monogamous, and famous for elaborate songs that echo through Southeast Asian rainforests at dawn.

    4

    Iguana

    Iguana iguana

    A large, tree-dwelling Central American lizard with a row of dorsal spines and a long tail, herbivorous despite its dragon-like appearance, popular as both pet and (in some regions) food.

    5

    Jaguar

    Panthera onca

    The largest cat in the Americas and the third-largest in the world, a powerfully built ambush predator with the strongest pound-for-pound bite force of any big cat.

    6

    Nilgai

    Boselaphus tragocamelus

    The largest Asian antelope — the nilgai (or blue bull) is a horse-sized bovid with a distinctively horse-like gait and a sloping back; males are slate-blue with a white patch on the throat, white ear spots, and short conical horns; females are tawny-brown and hornless; the nilgai is the most common large wild mammal of the Indian plains, coexisting with agriculture and often raiding crops.

    7

    Onager

    Equus hemionus

    The wild ass of Asia — a fast, slender-legged equid midway between a horse and a donkey, the onager is built for speed across open desert steppe; in short sprints it can reach 70 km/h, making it one of the fastest land animals; populations have been severely reduced by hunting and habitat loss across most of their historical range; the Indian wild ass subspecies survives mainly in the Little Rann of Kutch.
