Some unfamiliar words are camelopard camelopard is an archaic word for giraffe .Antbear an Antbear is an aardvark wich makes way more sense to English speaker's than the word aarvark does .that word comes from an obsolete Afrikaans word that combines aard the meaning Earth and vark meeting pig. River horse of course a river hourse is a hippopotamus that idea that these creatures are a kind of river abiding horse is apparent in both terms. Hippopotamus traces back to a Greek word that means literally riverine horse . cuddy the source of the word cuddy as it's used to refer donkey is unknown
