Animals beginning with the letters U and X?

[suspsy]

How many can you name? And how many of them have toys?

Common or Latin names?

For the latter, there are two scarab beetles, Xylotrupes gideon and X. pubescens. The former is commonly called the 'brown rhinoceros beetle', not sure X. pubescens has a common name.

EDIT: meaning, I do have toys/figures of both species.

We'll pretty much be looking at Binomial games I guess.

Uromastyx comes to mind. Urolophus. Xenomystus, Xiphias (have one of those at least...), Xenosaurus

There's a few different Unicornfish I guess.

It's not a common thing. Even Q would do better...

[stargatedalek]

I've only seen one Uromastyx figure (Zulu). But as common names go that might be the only one.

Uromastyx is still the binomial name...it just gets used as the common name too!

There's a lot of fish with names like Ukrainian "..." and Umbrella "..." and Utah "..." for example but at least in English your best best are Unicornfish or Upside-Down catfish.

Oh, and the monkey Uakari! There was a Play Visions of that one (although, I guess, not technically English, but adopted as such).

X is probably worse. After X-ray tetra/X-ray fish there's not much (again, in English. We don't make enough use of all of our alphabet apparently!)

Did Play Visions make an uakari? I know Nayab did, but technically it is a Bald Uakari, so it would go under 'B' for the Blog LOL

Well, I categorize as "uakari, bald" but as long as it's generic enough. And I'm pretty sure they did...I had it at one point. As does the little Nayab primates set.

But it's a pretty big reach to find any 'U' animals, so we might have to live with it...

[suspsy]

For X there's the xeme, but I think it's better known as Sabine's gull. And I'm sure no one is about to make a toy of that one.

Common English names: come to my mind uakari, umbrellabird, unicornfish. Really I think that none English generic common name of an animal starts by X, tough some use the scientific name as the only available common name (Xenia) so maybe we could justify it as a common name.

Common Spanish names (as it's my language): Uacarí (=uakari), Ualabí (=wallaby), Ualarú (=wallaroo), Uapití (=wapiti), Uro (=aurochs), Urogallo (=capercaillie), Urraca (=magpie), Urubitinga (=Great black hawk), Urubú (one of the many common names of the American black vulture). No names by X.

Besides that, one could think also in specific instead generic Englsh common names (such as Utila spiny-tailed iguana, etc), but maybe this is too much.
