10 animals with food-inspired names from the fried egg jellyfish to the pineapple fish
Over the years, evolution has created some truly amazing and strange creatures that look totally amazing! Some of which look so remarkable that they have got food-inspired names. Yet, this hasn't stopped the scientists from giving quirky-looking animals from giving witty names. As some animals got the name from our favourite celebrities, some of them have given food-inspired names too. Here are 10 animals which are universal favourites, from the fried egg jellyfish to the pineapple fish. List of animals inspired by food Animal Name Scientific Name / Class Why It's Named That Key Traits / Facts Chocolate Chip Sea Star Protoreaster nodosus Brown bumps resemble chocolate chips; body looks like a cookie. Lives in sandy, muddy habitats; collected for shell trade. Fried Egg Jellyfish Phacellophora camtschatica Looks like a fried egg. Found in cool oceans; larval crabs ride on them and eat parasites. Pineapple Fish Cleidopus gloriamaris Scales resemble a pineapple or armor; has bioluminescent organs. Also called coat-of-mail fish, knightfish, port-and-starboard light fish. Honey Badger Mellivora capensis Named for its habit of raiding beehives. Known for fearlessness; attacks venomous snakes and larger predators; prefers to avoid direct conflict. Banana Slug Ariolimax genus Yellow body resembles a ripe banana. Second-largest land slug; can reach 25 cm; has dark spots like an overripe banana. Tomato Frog Dyscophus antongilii Bright red coloration resembles a tomato. Inflates body and releases toxins when threatened; faces threats from habitat loss and pet trade. Lemon Shark Negaprion brevirostris Yellow-brown coloration helps camouflage with sandy sea floor. Social species; well-studied due to success in captivity; may form lasting social bonds. Strawberry Finch Amandava amandava Red feathers with white spots look like strawberries. Males are vibrantly colored; common in South/Southeast Asia; popular in bird trade. Coconut Crab Birgus latro Cracks coconuts open by dropping them from trees. Largest land-dwelling arthropod; prefers fleshy fruits, nuts, and seeds. Sea Cucumber Holothuroidea clas Body resembles a cucumber. Part of echinoderm family; feeds on plankton and detritus; includes 1,700+ species. Animals with food-inspired names Chocolate chip sea star [Protoreaster nodosus] It can be clearly seen why this name was given to this species of Indo-pacific sea star-as it has brown bumps like chocolate and tan colour sometimes that looks like a cookie. This species lives in a sandy and muddy environment. But the surprising part is that despite having these qualities, they are still collected for sea-shell trades. Fried egg jellyfish [Phacellophora camtschatica] Just like the previous one, this one too, needs no explanation for its name. It looks same as a fried egg with a jelly-like tail as well. This creature can be found in many parts of the world's ocean , but these species prefer to live in cool surroundings. They have a strong engaging relationship with larval crabs, but the tiny crabs ride on the bell of this creature and consume the parasites that trouble it. Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Flexible Phone Plans for Small Biz Undo Pineapple fish [Cleidopus gloriamaris] This fish has got four fun and descriptive names rather than just one! This fish is also called as the coat-of-mail fish or the knightfish, because of its unique and layered scales that resembles armor and for the port-and-starboard light fish that it carries near the corner of its mouth. Thus,the name is derived from- gloria and maris that means 'glory of the sea' as it clearly signifies too! Honey badger [Mellivora capensis] This species hasn't got its name because of its appearance, but because of their diet. Yes! The name of this creature is honey badger, which breaks into beehives to feed on both the honey as well as has even got the title of 'the world's most fearless animal because of its tendency and quality to secretly attack other dangerous species, such as poisonous snakes and even the lions. But in reality, it usually prefers to hide and avoid facing the complications where possible and attacks suddenly. Banana slug [Ariolimax genus] This creature will confuse you just by its appearance as it looks like a squishy banana lying on the floor. These bright-yellow coloured gastropods are found in five different species. The most famous among these is Pacific banana slug, which is the second-largest species of terrestrial slug in the world, measuring 25 cm, almost equal to approx 1.5 bananas. Also, they look like an overripe fruit due to its irregular black spots on them. Tomato frog [Dyscophus antongilii] The brightness of this creature clearly signifies the colour red,which is a symbol of warning as well as danger. When threatened by a predator, a tomato frog inflates Its body and releases a toxic substance that can numb the predator's eyes and mouth, prompting it to the release the frog. It's certainly an encounter best avoided but they are deeply threatened by habitat degradation and pollution as well as from pet trades. Lemon shark [Negaprion brevirostris] This animal has also got its name because of its concealing coloration. This creature's yellow-brown colour helps it to blend seamlessly with sandy sea floors, allowing it to ambush prey undetected. Due to their success in captivity, these sharks are among the most extensively studied. Remarkably, they are a social species, often forming groups with individuals of similar size, Some researchers even suggest that they may establish dominance and form long lasting social connections, much like birds. Strawberry finch [Amandava amandava] With its vivid red feathers speckled with white, seed-like spots, it's clear how this bird earned its food-inspired name. Commonly known as the 'red avadavat', it inhabits tropical regions across South and Southeast Asia. Unsurprisingly, its striking appearance has made it a favourite among bird collectors. As is typical in many bird species, only the males display such vibrant coloring, while the females have a more subdued yellow- brown hue. Coconut crab [Birgus latro] This remarkable and admittedly formidable-crab holds the title of the world's largest land-dwelling crustacean and terrestrial arthropod. Its name comes from its impressive skill of cracking open coconuts, which includes lifting them from the ground, climbing a tree, and dropping them to break them open and reach the edible flesh. However, despite what the name suggests, coconuts aren't their primary food source; they maily feed on other fleshy fruits, along with various nuts and seeds. Sea cucumber [Holothuroidea class] Although not a single species but a whole class of animals, sea cucumbers include around 1,717 known species. Like starfish and sea urchins, they are part of the echinoderm family. Commonly resembling lifeless vegetables resting on the ocean floor, they feed on plankton and decomposing organic material. Their name clearly comes from their striking similarity to edible cucumbers. Their appearance attracts the individuals because of its cucumber-like shape and surface.

RSPCA appeals for salt to help treat injured seals
A RSPCA wildlife centre has appealed for donations of salt after staff used three tonnes in a single weekend to treat injured seals. East Winch Wildlife Centre in Norfolk said staff were caring for six entangled seals which had been rescued from beaches across Norfolk and Suffolk. The seals, which included young pups, suffered deep wounds caused by marine litter such as discarded fishing lines, plastic and rope. Saltwater baths help infected wounds, the centre said, but with an increased number of seals needing treatment supplies had run low. The seals named Buffalo, Bonobo, Honey Badger, Pit Viper, Seal and Toucan have been treated with antibiotics and anti-inflammatories alongside the salt water floats. The charity said it was treating a higher number of injured seals compared to this time last year, as the six seals were being cared for alongside 30 others at the centre. A tonne of salt is used by the charity every few days to provide treatment for the animals, it said. Evangelos Achilleos, the wildlife centre's manager, said: "It is really heartbreaking that it's still only early in the year and we've already had so many seals come in with entanglements." "What is a concern, is that a lot of the seals coming in now with entanglements are just pups," he added. One seal who arrived in February, Griffin Vulture, has already recovered and has been successfully released back into the wild. The animals that are rescued typically arrive at the centre underweight and exhausted, the centre said. Depending on the severity of the injury, the rehabilitation period can take months and cost up to thousands of pounds per seal. The centre has appealed for donations of salt via its Amazon wishlist.

Plan for new airport hangar to be built
Plans have been announced for a new hangar to be built at a regional airport. Teesside International Airport in Darlington will house the structure to store a fleet of planes and provide office and workshop space. It will be used by Draken, which provides training for organisations such as the RAF and the US Air Force and recently signed a £173m contract with the Ministry of Defence (MoD) to retain its operations at Teesside Airport. Planning documents said: "The new hangar will provide a modern facility for the storage of aircraft that meets government energy performance requirements." The site is about 1.35 hectares and is currently a piece of undeveloped grassland within the airport grounds. The airport said Draken already occupied two hangers at the site and the new structure would be next to them, with a new parking area also created. The documents said the hanger would support their L-159 "Honey Badger" fighter planes. Follow BBC Tees on X, Facebook, Nextdoor and Instagram.
