For the umpteenth time I've mentioned this on this board, "owl" in Mandarin is maotouying: cat head eagle.
Another fun one is penguin: chi e. Literally "tiptoe goose".

in polish there are many funny scientific names for different insects and spiders. First you give them a cute-sounding first name followed by stupid epithet - like "psotnik zakamarnik" which literally means "troublemaker corner dude"
