List of 7-letter Animals that contain U

    1

    Buffalo

    Syncerus caffer (Cape); Bubalus bubalis (water); Bison bison (American "buffalo")

    A general name for several large bovines — the African Cape buffalo (one of the most dangerous animals in Africa), the Asian water buffalo (essential to rice farming), and the American "buffalo" (actually a bison).

    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

    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.

    4

    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.

    5

    Quetzal

    Pharomachrus mocinno

    Central America's most spectacular bird — the resplendent quetzal's emerald green tail feathers can reach 65 cm and were considered more valuable than gold by the Maya and Aztec civilisations; it is the national bird of Guatemala, depicted on the flag and currency, and remains a symbol of freedom as it refuses to survive long in captivity.

    6

    Sun Bear

    Helarctos malayanus

    The world's smallest bear — a tree-climbing, honey-obsessed omnivore from Southeast Asia with an extraordinarily long tongue, a chest patch shaped like a rising sun, and an unexpectedly expressive face.
