Your entire perspective is going to change today, my friends.

Because you’re about to learn something that I’m willing to bet a lot of you never thought you would…how do you feel about BETTER NAMES FOR ANIMALS?

Yes, you read that right! And all of us are in for a real treat today, because I personally believe that some animal names are just plain outdated and need to be freshened up.

For example: I’m sure you’re familiar with the manatee, right? That adorable creature sometimes called “the sea cow”? Well, from now on, all manatees will be called FLOATY POTATOES.

Are you ready to see some more? Let’s check them out!

1. The nope rope!
