Alphabetical Animals Crossword Puzzle

Home» Crosswords» Animals
This puzzle is a "proof of concept" for a challenge left in the Authors' Lounge to create a crossword containing at least 26 animals, one for each letter of the alphabet. A rough reckoning finds 46 animal names here: hopefully solvers will be able to identify them all. Enjoy!
