The German name Ameisenbär translates to ants bear. Because it's in league with the ants!
- And because every animal in German is described in relation to bears.
  Raccoon? Wash bear
  Ant eater? Ant bear
  Slug? Homeless bear
  Turtle? Shield bear
  
  Close, slugs are 'naked snails' and turtles are 'shield toads'.
  
  Grizzly? You guessed right, brown bear!
  
  Tardigrade? Bear animal
- Everything is a bear to Germans.
  
  Guess what my first name means!

Termiteater
Not Termineater
- Termititer
- Termiteeater
  Dont hide the second e

Fun fact I learned just now is that termites and ants first come together at “insecta” but are otherwise entirely different. Also I was checking because I knew that ants are basically wasps and wanted to see about termites, so that’s also a cool fact.
- Yeah, and termites are basically cockroaches.

Aye, those dark days past. Would ye believe the price o' taters in the marketplace? Naught but crawly ants filled our bellies, that's all we 'ad!

Doesn't look like many people got the Foamy reference.
- I used to like Foamy

Termite Terminator.
