Two which strictly meet the conditions, but are just alternative spellings for the same animals in each case: zo / dzo and id / ide.

Finally, one which demonstrates some creative cheating: rat / ratel (well, "el" is a letter!)

By 2nd animal, I meant a different animal

One that works: hag, shag.

One that doesn't qualify but is included here for completeness: ewt, newt.

How do you support your claim that they are different animals? Webster's Third New International Dictionary defines possum as "[by shortening] : opossum", so they're just synonyms.

[URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Possum[/URL] and [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Didelphimorphia[/URL] (yes, Wikipedia...not very reliable, I know, but still...) is where I got the idea. Its sources are mine, since it is my source. [URL]http://www.americazoo.com/kids/opossum.htm[/URL] says they're two words for the same thing. Who knows.

Too bad spoilers don't work right for links, but they still obscure it, at least.
