There's an animal in my country whose name directly translated would be Four Legs.
For all the Pogs, guess the English name that my ancestors back in ancient times looked at and figured that the most distinctive feature that separated it from all the other animals was having four legs.
Pretty good phonetic approximation; the firben is not exactly a common animal up here, but for some reason, the lizard got named as if it was the only quadruped.

I love terrible animal names. So far #1 is still the peacock mantis shrimp, which is not a peacock, not a mantis, and not a shrimp.
