Mouse
(lemmy.world)
Just like Pat is short for Patthew.
And why is there Jennifer but no Jerryfer? Or Johnnyfer?
I was today years old when I learned it's not short for Pathaniel
Why did you caption this with mouse? Are you an AI?
I am a human being, promise
I've always appreciated that the black rat's name is Rattus rattus. It's the rattiest rat that's ever ratted, it's right there in the name.
there’s also gorilla gorilla gorilla!
And the Eurasian Brown Bear aka Bear bear bear!
(Ursus is Greek for bear, Arctos is Latin for bear)
Bonus fun fact: the Arctic and the Antarctic roughly translate to "the place with bears" and "the place without bears", respectively.
This shitty anime's got that beat: 
Plot twist: "kuma" means duck and "bear" means goose
Yes, that is my favorite rat.
Not Ratthew?
Not Ratthew, no.
Unmute this meme!
Please don't call Ratrick short. He doesn't like that at all.
Capybara is short for Cabybaratheon, one of the houses from the Games of Thrones.
