List of Animals That End With H

    1

    Cheetah

    Acinonyx jubatus

    The fastest land animal, a slender African cat built for short bursts of extreme speed but vulnerable to larger predators and habitat loss.

    2

    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.

    3

    Sloth

    Bradypus variegatus (brown-throated sloth)

    A slow-moving, tree-hanging mammal native to Central and South American rainforests, so sluggish that algae grows on its fur — providing camouflage and a small ecosystem.

    4

    Starfish

    Asteroidea (class)

    A radially symmetric marine invertebrate (more correctly called a sea star) with hundreds of tube feet, the ability to regenerate lost arms, and a unique digestive system that turns inside-out to feed.
