The long -o sound at the end of these animal names is spelled with just the letter o. Many of these words describe unique creatures, some of which will be well known, while others might be less familiar.
For example, the rhino is a large, herbivorous mammal known for its distinctive horn. Another example is the armadillo, which is a small animal protected by a bony shell. Some of these animals, like the dodo, are now extinct, while others, such as the gecko, are common in warmer climates.
These words showcase the diversity of the animal kingdom and help build vocabulary related to nature and wildlife.

"Thank goodness for Spellzone during this remote learning phase. The site is easy for students to navigate independently and they're really enjoying the activities and spelling games. You get an awful lot for your money with Spellzone. Really reassuring is the very prompt response with helpdesk queries. I've very rarely needed the helpdesk, but when I have, the issue has been addressed and sorted within a very short time."
