    The German name Ameisenbär translates to ants bear. Because it’s in league with the ants!

      And because every animal in German is described in relation to bears.

      Raccoon? Wash bear

      Ant eater? Ant bear

      Slug? Homeless bear

      Turtle? Shield bear

        Close, slugs are ‘naked snails’ and turtles are ‘shield toads’.

    Fun fact I learned just now is that termites and ants first come together at “insecta” but are otherwise entirely different. Also I was checking because I knew that ants are basically wasps and wanted to see about termites, so that’s also a cool fact.
