pneIn Klingon, there’s an animal toqvIr lung translated as “Tokvirian skink”.
I thought that was a made-up word, but apparently, there really are animals called “skinks”. Huh!
(And they’re lizards, which makes sense, given that lung “loong” is described as a lizard-like animal. I presume the name was influenced by the Chinese word 龍 lóng for a dragon.)
