The Allusionist

158. Creature Quiz

There's lots of fun etymology of creatures and a lot of fun etymology derived from creatures, and now it is gathered into this fun playalong quiz about animal etymologies! There's an interactive answer sheet at <a href="http://theallusionist.org/creaturequiz">theallusionist.org/creaturequiz</a>, plus more information about various animals and etymologies, and as always the full dictionary entry for the randomly selected word.
