## Caption

Animal names can sound super odd 🐾📚

A lot of animal names came from the first thing people noticed: a shape, a sound, or a local word that stuck. Shoebill describes the bird’s bill, and dik-dik keeps the alarm call that named it.

Animal names often feel strange for the same reason old street names do: the world changed, but the label didn’t.
