Deep in the forests of the world, a hidden kingdom thrives—one filled with rustling leaves, crackling twigs, and the subtle movement of animals that know the terrain far better than we do. From quiet grazers to nimble predators, forest creatures are masters of their domain. In this earthy Word Quest challenge, your task is to identify ten wild forest animals using only the first and last letters of their names. Are you ready to explore nature’s shadows?

Forests are some of the most diverse habitats on Earth, stretching from tropical jungles to cold, misty woodlands. And within them roam animals both familiar and mysterious. Whether leaping through branches, burrowing in the underbrush, or stalking silently through the trees, these creatures have adapted to a life of cover and complexity.
