Personally, I would have named it a “Triceratops Beetle”.

Red Panda (Ailurus fulgens) and Virginia Opossum (Didelphis virginiana)
Though few are excited about meeting their first college roommates, most manage to get past their differences and learn to get along.
Common Octopus
The octopus is able to compress and expand it’s body to extreme levels. For proof of this, view this post on both your computer and your phone.
Bee
Don’t let their acting arise your sympathies. If they didn’t want pollen in their eyes, they wouldn’t climb right in to the flower like that.
Emperor Scorpion (Pandinus imperator)
It takes over one thousand scorpions tips to make a single gram of iocane powder.
Kea (Nestor notabilis)
There are only between 1,000 and 5,000 kea in the world. The only place (outside of a few zoos) that you can see them is in the mountains of New Zealand. Yes, where Sauron lives. Not only did they have to contend with widespread eradication by the New Zelanders (who have since changed their ways) and suffer from lead poisoning, they also must be constantly on guard against orcs and giant spiders.
Water Scorpion (Ranatra sp.)
You know how when you’re in a lake, and you’re enjoying the warm water in the sunshine, just floating around. Then you see a neat frog nearby and swivel around so you can swim over there and look at it? Then you feel a little piece of pondweed on your ankle?
Sometimes it’s not pondweed.
Bat

Jaguar (Panthera onca)
Yech! Why didn’t you throw that fish back?
Thick-billed Parrot (Rhynchopsitta pachyrhyncha)
You can tell Autumn is on the way when the parrots start to change their colours.
Black Lemur (Eulemur macaco)
Black lemur just wishes everyone could get along.
And pie. Some pie would be nice too.
Malagasy Giant Chameleon (Furcifer oustaleti)
Chameleons can change their skin pattern. While often used for protective camouflage, this particular chameleon is illustrating a drought map to raise awareness about climate change.
Taxicab Beetle (Pachnoda peregrina)
At the height of rush hour, taxicab beetles can experience gridlock. It can take hours for the problem to clear up.
Cougar (Puma concolor)
Pumas may be molded into whatever shape you wish. All you need is the right mold.
Ducklings
Ducklings grow dark lines around their eyes so they have an innate advantage over chickens when playing football.
“I can’t believe you just said that.”
Bongo (Tragelaphus eurycerus)
Bongos are even worse at flirting than I am.
Tin Foil Beetle (Protaetia lewisi)
Back in the early days of the industrial revolution, it was discovered that you can use a steam-powered rolling press to convert these beetles into tin foil. These days, of course, the far-cheaper aluminum foil beetles are used.
Jaguar (Panthera onca)
The bigger a cat gets, the bigger its ears get. The bigger the ears, the better they can hear. This is why they grow hair in their ears, so their hearing is limited to their nearby locale and they aren’t distracted by prey 100 miles away.
Too Hot
You know it’s a hot day when the animals in the zoo start taking ice cream breaks.
