I don't know why "Mariposa", "Ibis", "Tortuga" are here. They don't belong to class mammal - Fidalgo, ENE 28, 2010

Careless reading on my part is the reason. I'm blushing. - 0057ed01, ENE 28, 2010

Good answer, Heidi. But bookworm doesn't consider N difference from Ñ - Fidalgo, ENE 28, 2010

This is a good reason why we should start using the Spanish alphabet! - LaBurra, ENE 28, 2010

Answer 3

suricata - suricate, meerkat

Answer 4

quirquincho - armadillo

Answer 5

camello - camel

Interesting fact: according to my dictionary "camello" is the one-hump camel (bactrian) and "dromedario" is the two-humped kind (dromedary) - LaBurra, ENE 28, 2010

I prefer dromedary dates, personally. - 0057ed01, ENE 28, 2010
