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

7 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"

I’m tempted to add these in while teaching my little one!

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

7 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.

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.
