Description
Kids love silly names almost as much as they love weird animals. Once a child is old enough to recognize the difference between a leopard and a frog, the idea of a peacock frog is funny and intriguing. Does it look like a peacock or a frog? Does it have a tail or a beak? And what about a skunk tiger beetle? Does it have stripes like a tiger? Or worse, stink like a skunk? Every page of Cool Animal Names invites laughter and discovery with 256 of the most bizarre animals on the planet. Zebra tarantulas, zebra fish, zebra butterflies, zebra mice, zebra finches, and zebra sharks all have zebra-like stripes, while leopard seals, leopard sharks, leopard toads, leopard tortoises, and leopard geckos have leopard-like spots. Discover weird animals named for their behavior, such as wolf spiders, panther chameleons, and ant lions that stalk prey the way their large mammal namesakes do, or animals such as the elephant shrew and elephant fish that were named for their trunk-like appendages. Watch for these cool animals: Mosquito fish, parrot snake, scorpion fly, rhinoceros beetle, spider monkey, alligator turtle, monkey moth, peacock shrimp, wolf eel, tiger snake eel, elephant shark, scorpion fish, camel spider, panther chameleon, goat owl, goat moth, worm lizard, elephant octopus, kitten moth, and so many more. Kids are in for hours of fun seeing this strangest collection of animals ever!
