My head is quite small,
My neck is stretched high,
I am the largest bird
But I cannot fly.
(Ostrich)
My first is twice in apple
But not once in tart.
My second is in liver
But not in heart.
My third is in giant
And also in ghost.
Whole I'm best when I am roast.
(Pig)
Gaudily feathered,
With nothing at all to say,
I can't stop talking
(Parrot)
More eyes have I than I do need for sight,
A cry have I that is both sharp and clear,
A tail have I more fit for show than flight,
Admired am I wherever I appear.
(Peacock)
Don't think about it —
Just leave the vicinity
If you hear my tail.
(Rattling Snake)
Long ears, cotton tail,
His name begins with R.
For a tasty, crunchy carrot,
This animal will hop far.
(Rabbit)
I prefer a bed of lettuce to any other kind,
And frolicking about is most often on my mind.
My ears are long, and short my tail.
If you try to catch me you will fail.
(Rabbit)
I nibble green lettuce
To make me grow strong,
My tail's soft and fluffy,
But not very long,
My ears listen out
As I race with ease,
Then rest in the cornfield,
Or play in the breeze.
(Rabbit)
Who is he that runs without a leg
With his house on his back?
(Snail)
Its belly is linen
Its neck velvet
