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

Its mouth music

Its tail a fork.

(Swallow)

My first is in fish and also in chips,

My second's in mouth but not in lips,

My third is ache but not in pain,

My fourth is my third all over again,

My fifth is in pupil but isn't in class,

My whole is a beast that feeds on the grass.

(Sheep)

I move silently without wings,

Between silvery, silken strings,

And there stretched in the grass

You'll see my web as you pass.

(Spider)

I'm a busy active creature,

Full of mirth and play by nature,

Nimbly I skip from tree to tree,

To get the food that's fit for me,

Then let me hear, if you can tell,

What is my name and where I dwell.

(Squirrel)

I have a bushy tail

And bright, brown eyes,

My home is in a thee

I've built up high,

When snow is on the ground,

Before summer ends

My food I'll have found

(Squirrel)

I am slow I am.

Slowest of the slow I am.

In my tree I am.

(Sloth)

When I raise my tail,

Expressing my displeasure,

Even wolves make tracks.

(Skunk)

A squirrel has a bushy one.

It starts with a T.

My dog has a happy one.

She wags it for me.

(Tail)

He rows quickly with four oars

But never comes out from under his own roof?

(Turtle)

I can not fly, I can not run,

I shelter from the mid-day sun,

Upon my back my house is placed,

I crawl along, but once I raced,

And now when danger lurks around,

Inside I pop, all safe and sound.

(Tortoise)

One where none should be,

Or maybe where two should be,

Seeking out purity,

In the kings trees.

(Unicorn)

Big and gray,

With so many teeth,

Searching all day

For flocks of sheep

And helpless prey.

(Wolf)

This animal's name

Begins with a Z.

She looks like a pretty

Spriped pony to me.

(Zebra)

I really come from Africa,

But can be seen in zoos,

I look like a horse

And a donkey too,

You really can't mistake me,

I am a funny sight,

I'm sure you will know

My black and white stripes.

(Zebra)

High in the sky

I can see with my eye

White horses are grazing.

Isn't that amazing?

(Clouds)

Full and heavy it hangs in the skies,

And feeds the earth as it cries.

(Cloud)

Fluffy and light,

I live in the sky,

My shape ever changing

As I go by.

(Cloud)

What can you catch but not throw?

(Cold)

The greater it is

The less you see of it.

(Darkness)

It can not be seen, cannot be felt,

Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.

It lies behind stars and under hills,

And empty holes it fills.

It comes first and follows after,

Ends life, kills laughter.

(Darkness)

I'm sometimes strong and sometimes weak,

But I am nobody's fool.

For there is no language I can't speak

Though I never went to school.

(Echo)

I am something that no one has ever seen,

But many have heard me,

And I won't speak unless I'm spoken to.

(Echo)

As long as I live I eat,

But when I drink I die.

(Fire)

Give it food and it will live,

Give it water and it will die.

(Fire)

I can be touched

But I hurt those who touch me

I move swiftly through a dry forest

But die in a mountain stream

Where I pass I leave a black shroud.

(Fire)

Goes over all the hills and hollows,

Bites hard, but never swallows.
