Ameiseniegel Explanation: davon zwei Versionen: Langschnabeliegel und Kurzschnabeliegel. Wenn offensichtlich auch zoologische Institute diese Übersetzungen benutzen, wird es vielleicht gar keine anderen geben. Historisch betrachtet sind natürlich auch viele Übersetzungen von stark länderspezifischen Tiernamen so entstanden. Alternativ natürlich die zoologischen Namen Tachyglossus und Zaglossus.

Der Echidna Explanation: Bertelsmann gives only the definition "half snake, half female", so this is not helping, I suppose. However, I found a few German references on the web, for what it's worth: http://www.info-oz.de/wildlife/platypus.htm - der Echidna. http://www.australien-fotos.de/wpgerman.htm http://www.ingrids-welt.de/reise/aus/htm/beuech.htm http://www.schule-bichwil.ch/schuelerarbeiten/austrlien.htm In case you need confirmation on Ameisenfresser, yes, it's der Ameisenfresser. |
