Kangaroo Rat
You stole my name but I don’t mind, after all we’re two of a kind.
I like to jump and you do too. They say I even look like you!
Chicken Hawk
I always run I do not walk when I see a chicken hawk.
Every day I play this game with the one who stole my name.
ParrotFish
Rainbow feathers in the sky make me wish that I could fly.
But water’s just like air to me so I fly beneath the sea.
CowBird
Can you tell me why or how
I was named for a cow?
Fashion choices I prefer feature feathers over fur.
Rhinoceros Beetle
Rhino says, “Beetle, you’re a mini me.”
Beetle says, “Rhino buddy, I agree!
I like your name, it suits me fine.
From now on I’ll make it mine.”
Elephant Seal
Goodbye circus, goodbye zoo, I’m off to see the ocean blue.
A creature there who’s named for me has a nose I’d like to see!
Tiger Shrimp
Being tiny is a blast.
I swim backwards to go fast!
Quicker than you’d ever think, looky there, I made you blink!
