I wouldn't call the bald eagle anything to do with freedom since USA dropped that virtue down the toilet in 2016.

It's COBRA CHICKEN - Not Goose or Honk Monster!

I think Honk Monster is an acceptable alternative, But Cobra Chicken is definitely better.

I wish these were the names we used, stories in school would be way more interesting

6 years ago | Likes 27 Dislikes 0

But if these were the actual names they wouldn't be as exciting. Then someone's like "what if we called a land cloud like.. sheep! Hahaha"

In my language a lot of animal names are exactly this silly. The translations into English are wild.

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Ex: hippo = sea cow. Giraffe = camel horse. Raccoon = wash bear. Guinea pig = test bunny. Octopus = sea cat. Porcupine = iron pig.

#18 of the family “Flying Fox”. (If you say “rabies”, it has encouraged ppl in the Global South to kill them en masse, which is not right.)

Don't know about crocs but gators are also pretty freaking fast on land. They can't turn quickly though, so don't be a Rickon Stark. Zigzag.
