Seconded, especially because the sea otter is the only one that does this. So some might try to be specific.

Is this the reason the animal's name is still literally "hunting leopard" in Chinese?

In Dutch it is also jachtluipaard meaning hunting leopard, though you can say cheetah too (and I think that is currently used more often).

Jacht=hunt and luipaard =leopard. However if you put a space in between luipaard you get "lazy horse". Lui=lazy and paard=horse :D.

The original etymology is ofcourse leo=lion and pard=panther.

I missed bison giraffe and tiger, if I hadn't been trying nearly every animal I could think of for bison (from ant to eagle) I might have gotten giraffe and tiger. Would never have thought of bison though.

Very surprised to see sharks nearly at the bottom, I thought that "fact" was pretty wellspread. Unless people only thought of naked molerat and then gave up.
