Y- Yodeling Yak

X- Xanthous Xerus

a fancy way of saying a "yellow African ground squirrel."  Yes, research was required!

W- Waterskiing Walrus

V- Vacuuming Vulture

U- Underwear wearing Umbrellabird

This was a difficult one only because there is not a lot of "U" animals.  The underwear part was all my wife's idea.  The umbrellabird is a pretty ridiculous looking bird- so why not take it a step further?

T- Toe TIckling Turtles

S- Sleepy Skunk

R- Roller Coaster Riding Rhino

Q- Quieting Quail

Not a lot of choices- recognizable for a 7 year old, at least- and it's hard to draw "quiet" so "quieting" will have to do.  We are definitely approaching the more difficult end of the alphabet though I think.

P- Pogo sticking Pelican

O- Ornery Old Owl

Don't bother looking for the frog- he's too scared and refused to be in the picture.

N- Nauseous Newt

M- Melon Munching Manatee

Today's sketch is all Nora's idea- nice to have some outside creative input for a change.

L- Licking Llama

Inspired by my 2 year old who pronounces "L's" like "Y's."  At lunch we were trying to get him to say "Lucky Lucy Likes Licking Lemon Lime Llamas."  It sounds pretty funny to hear Alfred say "Yucky Yucy Yikes Yicking Yemon Yime Yamas."
