For the first question, I think the answer could be the orangutan maybe. I know it probably has to be some kind of primate or ape-like creature.For the second question, my answer would have to be the Poison Dart Frogs that are known for their bright colors and live in the rainforests, such as the Amazon Rainforest in South America.

If I'm not mistaken, It was a mix-up between English and Dutch speaking settlers. The Dutch used the word "wijd" to describe the fact that they had wide mouths, and the English speakers mistook this for "white". There are actually even several versions of this specific story though.

Hmm, what kind of animal is windows XP? I guess you didn't get my pm before you logged lol. Anyway, not 100% sure but Kabuto is officially classified as a shellfish type Pokemon, although it looks more like some kind of bug or a horseshoe crab. Anyway it looks most like the horseshoe crab so I am going with that.Real:http://t0.gstatic.co...U3CvBu49v90VpI=Pokemon:http://t1.gstatic.co...n/th_Kabuto.jpgI like how his hair is the legs heh.

Its a fox that flies. Actually its a kind of bat that looks like a fox because its head has a similar shape. I wonder if their fangs can be used to make cookies.

Yeah, I figured since you capitalized it. Anyway, I was checking on that ad-spammer just a second ago and saw you noticed him too lol. I wonder how they decide what topic to spam about (Britney Spears, Chinese railroads).Just so this isn't not-relevant, I'll add more information about flying foxes. They actually don't have echolocation, which is a common feature found in many other kinds of bats.

Well strictly speaking, it has a root meaning of "head-feat" (cephal meaning head, and pod meaning foot). A lot of these names are easy to figure out just by looking at the Greek or Latin root meanings.
