I'll start:

Albatros; largest flying bird, wingspan of over 3 meters

(I don't think this quiz will get to D...)

i dont think it will get past A 😂

No? Here's C!

Cockroach: oldest species of insect, and the most durable known creature, and also the fastest insect ever.

No dude, all bounds are off! Now any animal counts, the D is yours!

The record number of adult worms found in a single Dog is 116

😛

That's what I'm talking about!

Largest land mammal is the African Elephant, towering a decent 3.5 meters and 6 tonnes AVERAGE. The record on this species is 3.9 meters tall and a weight of 11 tonnes!

from what i can tell the Fox is the only animal to get hunted for fun.

Good one!

Glow-worm; top 'o the line light emitting insect, only to be beat by jellyfish in case of brightness

the Hippo kills more humans (directly) a year than any other animal

note:

had to say directly cause the mosquito kills way more but that is down to the malaria 😛

This animal records all trough the alphabet might be a bit boring, time for something new.

Some history perhaps:

Where did the title 'Kamikaze' come from, when Japan desperately decided to send planes filled with explosives on suicide missions to crash in to the allies ships?

Kamikaze is usually translated as divine wind. which came into being as the name of a typhoon that is said to have saved Japan from a Mongol invasion fleet led Kublai Khan (Mongolian emperor of China and grandson of Genghis Khan who completed his grandfather's conquest of China he establish the Yuan dynasty and built a great capital on the site of modern Beijing where he received Marco Polo (1216-1294)), in 1281. In Japanese the name "kamikaze" is used only for this typhoon.

In the English language, however, the word "kamikaze" usually refers to suicide attacks carried out by Japanese aircrews against Allied shipping, towards the end of the Pacific campaign of World War II.
