minus-square@Holzkohlen@feddit.delinkfedilink33•10 months agoI’ve have learnt that Capybaras are also sometimes called “Water Pig” in German. We are onto something big here.
minus-square@Strawberry@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilink34•10 months agoCapybaras actually do hang out in the water at least
minus-square@tilcica@lemm.eelinkfedilink26•10 months agoi mean guinea pigs were originally bred as a replacement food source for ocean voyages as it tasted the same as a pig but was way smaller thus the name (morski prašiček - sea piglet in slovene)
minus-square@lugal@lemmy.mllinkfedilink6•10 months agoI thought the name is because they come from overseas?
minus-square@SapientSloth@feddit.delinkfedilink4•10 months agoA porcupine is a “Spike Pig”. The hedgehog has a name on its own called “Igel”. Funny though if you look at the name hedgehog. Basically a wild pig in a bush.
