In today’s article, we are going to discuss those Animals whose names begin with ‘Th.’ There are more than 300 names, and out of them, we have carried out the ten best animals and mentioned some interesting facts about them. So without further delay, let’s begin with the article, Animals that start with “Th” (Pictures & Facts 2022).
1) Thrasher
The first animal in this list of Animals that start with Th is the Thrasher. They are small birds and are spread over more than 17 species. Thrashers are quite noisy birds and forage in dense thickets and on the ground. Various kinds of songs comprise their calls.
Interesting Fact: The Brown Thrasher is a terrible defender and can strike intruders and draw out blood.
Type of Animal: Bird
Location: North and South America
Diet: Species-dependent, but mainly nuts, insects, and berries.
2) Thrush
Divided into 174 species across 18 genera, Thrushes are tiny to medium-sized songbirds with slender bills that are plump and soft-plumaged. They prefer to live in woodland regions and frequently forage on the ground.
Thrushes range in size from 5 to 12 in (13-30 cm). They often don’t have vibrant colors, although many of them have bright yellow, red, or blue spots on otherwise dull plumage.
Interesting Fact: The Thrush was one of the first songbirds ever recorded.
Type of Animal: Bird
Location: Worldwide
Diet: Insects, snails, and sometimes berries
3) Three-toed Kingfisher
The Three-toed Kingfisher, also known as the Oriental dwarf Kingfisher, is one of the smallest species of Kingfisher, measuring 12.5-14 cm in length.
This bird species bears some brilliant colors, with a coral-red color bill, and a fuschia-red crown. Its wings and back are dark blue, and its underparts are light orange. The forehead has a dark mark, and the side of the neck has blue and white spots.
Interesting Fact:
Type of Animal: Bird
Location: Endemic to Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia

4) Thread Snakes
Next up on this list of Animals that start with Th, we have the Thread Snakes. Divided into 3 families, Thread Snakes are small non-venomous animals, with blunt heads, cylindrical bodies, and short tails. The scales are smooth and quite polished.
Interesting Fact: The Barbados Thread Snake is the smallest in the world.
Type of Animal: Snake
Location: Africa, Asia, North and South America
Diet: Termites, Ants, and their larvae.
5) Thick-Billed Parrot
The medium-sized, vivid green Thick-billed parrot has a broad, black bill and scarlet forecrown, and similar color shoulder, and thighs. The apple-green tint of the thick-billed parrot makes it easy to conceal it among the forest’s pine needles.
It is 315–370 g in weight and 38 cm (15 in) in length. These birds have strong wings and can frequently elude larger raptors.
Interesting Fact: Thick-billed Parrots, also known as Snow Parrots, prefer high elevations.
Type of Animal: Bird
Location: Northern Mexico
Diet: Pine seeds, buds, and sometimes acorns.
6) Thick Knee
Stone-Curlews, also known as Thick Knees, are medium to large birds with enigmatic plumage and sharp black or yellowish black beak.
They also have enormous yellow eyes that give them a reptile-like appearance. Thick Knees get their name from their protruding joints in the long, yellow, or greenish legs.
Interesting Fact: The Water Thick Knee is the bravest bird in the world.
Type of Animal: Bird
Location: Asia, Africa, and Australia
Diet: Insects and small vertebrates, like frogs, lizards, etc.
7) Thresher Shark
The next animal on this list of Animals that start with Th is the Thresher Shark, with only 3 extant species. Thresher sharks are aggressive predators; they use their tails as a weapon to shock victims.
They derive their name from their extraordinarily long, thresher-like caudal fins (which can equal their body length). The Pelagic Thresher is the smallest species (3 m), while the Common Thresher is the largest at 6.1 m.
Interesting Fact: Thresher’s Sharks’ tail may even exceed 3 m.
Type of Animal: Shark
Location: Worldwide distribution, but species dependent
Diet: Fish, Squids, etc
8) Thomson’s Gazelle
The Thomson’s Gazelle is among the small gazelle species, with a shoulder height of not more than 24-28 in. Their coat color is mainly sandy brown, with a broad black mark that extends from the upper foreleg to the hindleg.
Thomson’s can run at incredible speeds (80 km/h) and can even outrun the world’s fastest animal, the cheetah, in a long chase.
Interesting Fact:
Type of Animal: Mammal
Location: African Savannahs
Diet: Mainly grass
9) Three-toed box turtle
The Three-toed box turtle is a turtle species whose shells have a hinge. They get their name from the presence of three toes on their hind legs.
Their skin coloration is tan primarily or olive green, with the shell bearing some pale yellow markings. Box turtles are frequent victims of runovers and get killed in thousands by ignorant drivers.

Type of Animal: Land Turtle
Location: South-central United States
Diet: Omnivorous diet; leaves, grasses, earthworms, eggs, insects, etc.
10) Three-toed sloth
The last animal on this list of Animals that starts with Th we have the Three-toed Sloth. Sloths resemble small dogs in size, 18 inches in length, and 3.5-4.5 kg in weight.
Their large, curved claws and strong muscles provide them with the stamina and strength to maintain a strong grip on three branches. This adaptation immensely helps them as they are arboreal animals.
Sloths have a coat of long shaggy hairs, usually pale brown to grey, which acts as excellent camouflage.
Interesting Fact: With a speed of nearly 0.2 km/h, it is one of the slowest animals in the world.
