It takes four different letters to spell 'fauna', but one of them has to be used twice.

It takes five letters to spell 'fauna'.

'Fauna' is an English word that was coined in 1771 by naturalist Gilbert White.

He borrowed it from Linnaeus, who used it in his 1746 catalog about Swedish wildlife.

It was originally a Latin word, the name of a fertility goddess.
