This is the best list of funny animal names, and we’ve got to say it’s rather amusing! Sometimes you wonder what people were thinking of when they named animals. Take “manta ray” for instance. What even is that? It’s just a collection of sounds. But, if it had been named “majestic sea flap flap” then people would get the idea as soon as they heard its name.
