Even in English, isn't "hippopotamus" derivative from Latin for "river horse?"
"Beakanimal" though 😂
Better than "platypus," imo. Just flat out gave up on trying to describe it.
I worked with a woman who had never heard of the platypus (yes, really!!!) so I showed her pictures of them.
Her only comment was "Oh, that poor baby!" 😂
@Tarnagh I didn’t know that about hippos and it’s hilarious!
And she’s right! I mean fit for their environment but visually it’s one of those so strange it goes all they way round to adorable right off the bat.
