7-letter Animals that contain G

List of 7-letter Animals that contain G

1

Gazelle

Gazella (genus)

A swift, slender African and Asian antelope — about a dozen species ranging across savannas, deserts, and open grasslands, prized prey for cheetahs and lions, and a model of running efficiency.

2

Gerenuk

Litocranius walleri

The giraffe gazelle of East African thornbush — the gerenuk has an extraordinarily long neck and legs that allow it to stand bipedally on its hind legs to browse up to 2 metres high in acacia bushes; the only antelope that routinely stands on its hind legs to feed; a Somali name meaning giraffe-necked describes it precisely; unlike most antelopes, it never drinks water, obtaining all moisture from browse.

3

Giraffe

Giraffa camelopardalis

The tallest living land animal, with an extraordinarily long neck and legs and a patchwork coat unique to each individual.

4

Gorilla

Gorilla beringei (eastern); Gorilla gorilla (western)

The largest living primate — gentle vegetarian forest dwellers of Central Africa, organized in family groups led by silverback males, with tragic conservation crises across all four subspecies.

5

Siamang

Symphalangus syndactylus

The largest of the gibbons — a black, shaggy ape of the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra that produces one of the loudest calls of any land animal using an inflatable throat sac the size of a grapefruit; pairs bond for life and sing coordinated duets that carry through rainforest for kilometres.
