Urial, uromastyx, and urubu are animals whose names begin with the letter "u" in French. The first, second, and third examples respectively reference the wild sheep also known as mouflon sauvage (wild sheep, Ovis orientalis vignei), the lizard also known as fouette-queue (spiny- or whip-tailed lizard, Uromastyx spp), and the black vulture also known as vautour noir (Coragyps atratus). The respective pronunciations will be "yoo-ryal," "yoo-ro-ma-steeks," and "yoo-ryoo-byoo" in French.

Urubu (borrowed from Portuguese) is the only animal name I know beginning by U in French. Urubus are species of south American vultures.

An animal-related word beginning with U is the verb "Ululer" meaning "to hoot" (to make the cry of an owl).

Uromastyx is a French animal name whose spelling begins with the letter "u." The proper name also serves as a frequent reference for the spiny-tailed lizard, whose common name in French is fouette-queue ("whip tail"). The pronunciation will be "yoo-ro-ma-steeks" for the scientific name and "fwet-kuh" for the common designation in French.

Yack and yorkshire are animals whose spelling starts with the letter "y" in French. The cattle relative (case 1) and the terrier (example 2) may be preceded immediately by the masculine singular le since French employs definite articles where English does and does not use "the." The pronunciation will be "(luh) yahk" and "(luh) yawk-sheer" in Alsatian and Cevenol French.
