  1. killer whale > not a whale

  2. Flying Fox. Not a fox… it's a very large bat.

  3. Nathan Lunde-Berry

    King cobra under it's generic name Ophiophagus is known as such because it is of a genus that primarily eats other snakes. So the "king" part of its name is there because of that.

  4. Bearded dragon: doesn't have facial hair and doesn't breathe fire. Would possibly consider eating a knight, but only if there was a can opener handy.

  5. Like "Butterfly" instead of "Flutterby" … 😉
