Don't know if this has come up here before, but I thought it would be neat to see what/how many car names we can come up with that have an actual animal as a model name. It needs to be an actual critter, a type of animal or fish (no insects like Spider or Hornet) please. Could be the kind of animal itself (ie: Mercury Cougar) or a "version" of an animal (ie: Mustang, as in a type of horse).

A sister thread will be posted on the "Garage" for cars named after actual places/locations.

Who's next????

A zephyr is a type of wind. I do not believe there are any animals with that name.
