Name an animal named after another animal (like seahorse)

22,916 recorded names on October 9, 2026, 22,400 at 85 or higher. The highest recorded score on this question is 100.

Look for compound or descriptive animal names that borrow a different creature's name, often because of a shared shape, colour, sound or habit. The animal's own common name must contain or be taken from another animal's name; the two creatures do not need to be related.
