| Sea Monkeys | Very small aquatic animals that live in colonies in jars on some kid's dresser. |
| Sloth | These are extremely slow animals who are too cool to walk at a decent pace in the hallway in between periods. |
| Snuffleupagus | An elephant or mastodon that can only be seen by six-foot tall birds with a drinking problem. |
| Stoat | This animal may possibly be the one with the best potential for undercover investigation and clandestine reconnaisance missions. Since most people are not sure what a stoat is, it would probably be taken for a chicken and go largely unnoticed at political events or affairs of state. |

| Vole | This rhymes with "mole", but it's probably something entirely different. Otherwise, it would've been easier just to call it a mole. |
| Vulture | An enormous bird with a ravenous appetite. It's actually only called that in America. If it is Slavic, it's called "Ivana". If it is African, it's called "Robin Givens". |

| Wallaby | A single-serving kangaroo (Now Microwaveable!) |
| Walrus | The Walrus was Paul. |
| Wolf | A carnivorous member of the dog family, extremely dangerous in the wild, as they usually travel in packs hunting their prey. However, there are sometimes 'lone wolves', from which the expression is derived, whose method is to swallow someone's grandmother and take her place, then lie in waiting for other family members to come by with food and compliment them on their appearance. |
| Wombat | Part wom, part bat. |
| Wooly Mammoth | An ancestor of the modern elephant, which became extinct when sheep evolved into docile, tuskless creatures that were much easier to shear. |
