Some of the most prominent animals that begin with n are the narwhal, the naiad, the otter, the steer, the black or the razor.

Among those you will find below are various mammals, insects, mollusks or snakes.

Giant otter

Some of them are well known throughout the world, such as the steer or the narwhal, others belong to a species that is only found in its place of origin, such as the nauyaca, a snake typical of an American region.

Each of the animals on the list has particularities and special characteristics that differentiate them, from their origin, physical appearance, form of reproduction to the region where they live.

1- Naiad

It is a small butterfly, between 2.5 and 3.8 cmm that usually lives in gardens, forests and humid places near rivers, lakes and other water sources.

It stands out for its color, a cobalt blue that varies in intensity. In some species it is lighter and in others darker. The male differs from the female in the depth of blue and edges on the wings.

They feed on all kinds of shrubs, but have a predilection for ivy. It is common to find them in much of the European territory and North Africa.

2- The Narval

It is a large animal, between 4 and more than 5 meters long, that lives in icy waters like the Arctic. Due to its natural rarity, it is hunted, but only Eskimos are allowed to hunt it.

3- The Novillo

It is a bull between 16 and 36 months and less than 450 kg of weight, not used to procreate. There is also the heifer or young cow with the same characteristics.

Its meat is highly prized and is sold as protein food for human consumption, so its breeding and fattening represent an important resource for a country.

4-

It is a mammal that stands out for its fur, intelligence and sociability. It can be on land or water, it is cleaned often, and it catches fish with its legs rather than its mouth.

5- The Chigger

It is a very small animal of 1 millimeter in size, not easily visible, a type of mite that belongs to the arachnids.

It is called a parasite because it is deposited on the skin of animals and people and with its claws it clings to feed on the blood producing a lot of itching.

6- The Negron

It is a duck named for its plumage, which in the case of the male is black. In their beaks, males show an orange stripe, while females show a brown color. It lives in the sea and eats mollusks and marine species.

7- The Razor

This is the name of a mollusk of about 15 cm whose shell is shaped like a razor, elongated and brown in color. It lives all the time in holes it makes in the sea sand.

Its meat is appreciated as food.

8- The Nécora

Very similar to a marine crab, it is a crustacean that lives between rocks or hidden in the sand, in which it defends its territory from other species.

Like crabs, it usually goes out at night and its meat is highly sought after to prepare marine dishes.

9- La Nauyaca

Typical of American countries, this snake, known as 4 noses, measures almost 2 meters and weighs around 6 kilos. The triangular head indicates its dangerousness; its venom can cause death.

10- The Nazarena

It is a butterfly that owes its name to the purple color of its wings in allusion to the costume of a religious figure known as a Nazarene.
