Letters A to Z – coloring pages for the whole alphabet with an animal for each letter
“Ape” Begins With “A”
A is for Ape! Let’s all channel our inner Happy Ape today and make the most of this beautiful drawing. 🐵💛
Little Bear, What you Wear?
Instead of the usual bee, for the B – coloring page we picked this nice smiling bear:
Camel Coloring Sheet
Did you know that camels can drink up to 30 gallons of water in just 13 minutes? That’s one impressive drinking session!
Do you know that Dolphins are mammals?
Here’s an interesting fact about dolphins: they have the ability to use echolocation to navigate the oceans. 🐬🌊 How cool is that?
Is the Elephant the biggest land animal?
The elephant is — indeed — the world’s largest land animal. That’s why for the fifth letter we selected the biggest candidate, literally. Here is the elephant coloring page (as .jpg image):
Why are Flamingos Pink?
Flamingos get their pink coloration from the shrimp and algae they consume. That’s one fun fact about these beautiful birds, isn’t it?
Which one is the tallest animal on Earth?
Giraffes are the tallest mammals on earth and can grow up to 18 feet tall! 🦒🌳 Imagine having a view like that from the top.
H is for Hippo
Did you know that hippos can hold their breath for up to 5 minutes underwater? 🤯 That’s longer than most Olympic swimmers! 🏊🏼♂️💦
Are iguanas good climbers?
Iguanas are excellent climbers and can scale trees and walls with ease. 🦎🌳 Their sharp claws and strong tails make it easy for them to grip onto surfaces, even those that are smooth or vertical.
Can Jaguars Swim?
Jaguars are excellent swimmers and often hunt for prey in the water? 🐆🌊 They have been known to swim up to 18 miles in search of food! The baby jaguar on this coloring page is still young, but still a great swimmer! Water – hating domestic cats should be ashamed 😉
Kangaroo starts with “K”
Did you know that kangaroos are the only large animals that use hopping as their primary means of movement? 🦘 This unique form of locomotion allows them to conserve energy while traveling long distances.
Are Lions Lonely?
They are definitely not lonely. Lions are the only cats that live in groups called prides. 🦁 These prides are usually made up of several females, their cubs, and a few males, and can consist of up to 40 lions!
M is for Mule
Did you know that mules are hybrids, produced by breeding a male donkey with a female horse? This unique breeding creates an animal that is strong, sure-footed, and can work long hours without getting tired.
Did you know that nutria are often referred to as “river rats”?
Despite their reputation, these large rodents are actually quite fascinating, with webbed hind feet, orange incisors, and the ability to stay underwater for up to 5 minutes!
Are Ocelots Cats?
Yes, are wild cats. They are exellent climbers and swimmers and are known for their beautiful coats, which feature spots and stripes that provide camouflage in their natural habitat.
Are pigs stupid?
Pigs are incredibly intelligent animals and have even been trained to play video games! 🎮🐷
They also have a keen sense of smell and are used in some countries to hunt for truffles, a type of edible mushroom.
That’s why, for the letter P we chose this beautiful pig coloring page.
Quokka Coloring Page
Quokkas are small animals native to Western Australia, known for their friendly and curious nature.
They are often referred to as the “world’s happiest animal” due to their seemingly constant smile.
Quokkas are also skilled climbers and can jump up to three times their body length.
Rabbit Coloring Page
Rabbits are small mammals with long ears and soft fur. They are known for their ability to reproduce quickly, with some species able to produce up to six litters of offspring per year!
Despite being a nuisance for gardeners, as they have a tendency to munch on vegetables and flowers, they are one of the most loved animals.
So, this little buddy has his natural place among our animal coloring pages.
Are Snails Sleepy?
Did you know that snails can sleep for up to three years at a time? While they don’t sleep in the traditional sense, snails can become dormant for extended periods when conditions aren’t favorable for their survival. This is known as estivation, and during this time, they reduce their metabolism and become inactive until better conditions arise.
T is for Tiger
Tigers are the largest cat species in the world and are known for their distinctive orange coat with black stripes. But did you know that tigers have been known to mimic the calls of other animals to attract their prey?
U is for Urial
Urial is a type of wild sheep found in central Asia, including Pakistan, Afghanistan, and India. This animal is known for its impressive curved horns. The first animal coloring page on this list that includes sheep, but a sheep with horns!
V is for Vicuna
Vicunas are adorable animals that are native to South America.
They belong to the same family as llamas and camels and are known for their soft, warm wool that is highly valued for making textiles.
Vicunas are also known for their agility and can run at speeds of up to 50 miles per hour!
Wolf Coloring Page
Wolves are incredible animals. They have the ability to communicate with each other over long distances, sometimes up to 6 miles away! They do this through a variety of noices such as howling, growling, and barking. This helps them to stay connected and work together as a pack even when they are far apart.
X-Ray Fish (one harder for coloring animal)
We had to find something interesting for the letter X in our animal coloring pages collection. And we found this.
X-ray fish, also known as the ghost fish or glass fish, have translucent skin that allows their internal organs to be seen from the outside.
This unique adaptation helps them blend into their surroundings and avoid predators. But isn’t this really fascinating?
Where the Yak lives?
Yaks are large, shaggy-haired mammals that live in the Himalayan region of central Asia.
They are well adapted to the harsh, cold climate of the high-altitude regions they call home.
Yaks are used for transportation, food, and their wool, which is spun into yarn for clothing.
Why are zebras striped?
Zebras are a type of African horse known for their distinctive black and white striped coats.
These stripes are thought to help them blend in with the grass and other vegetation in their natural habitat, making it more difficult for predators to spot them. Interestingly, no two zebras have exactly the same stripe pattern.
The last page of this free printable pdf template is for the letter Z, and as you already know, the animal on this coloring page is our friendly zebra:
