外国人都喜欢这样干！！插有意思。
Bango -移动分析公司，鳐鱼分很多种类，有的有毒，有的放电，它们都属于鲨鱼科，非常危险。 I've got no idea where this mobile analytics company got their name from, but Bango Fish is sometimes used as another name for rays, so I've decided to include the name here. Rays come in several varieties, some of them poisonous, some electric; they're related to sharks, and as we all probably remember, they can be quite dangerous. I'm not sure which exact species can be addressed
by the name "Bango," so I'd be grateful if someone could shed some light on this.
Fennec - unlike the Firefox, the Fennec Fox is actually a fox. The folks at Mozilla probably named their mobile browser after the Fennec because the animal is quite small for a fox, weighing up to 1.5 kg with a body length of up to 40 cm. What it lacks in general size, it makes up in ear size, which can grow up to 15 cm in length. It lives in the Sahara Desert of North Africa, feeds on rodents, insects, birds, eggs, and probably doesn't care much about mobile browsing.
Firefox ，这个就不用多说，大家都认识，这其实是生活于中国四川地区的一种小帽熊，浣熊科。- contrary to the popular belief, Firefox is not just a very cool fox or a fox on fire; it's a distinct animal species that actually looks quite similar to the one on the popular Web browser's logo. Its name is Red Panda, it's a herbivorous mammal that feeds on bamboo, and lives only in the Himalayas in Bhutan, southern China, India, Laos, Nepal, and Burma. If you ever see one, please don't try to spin it into the Firefox logo position for photographing; it won't like it and will probably bite you.
Myna, Aviary 公司设计的音频编辑软件Aviary's audio editor is - like all Aviary's products - named after a bird. The mynas are birds of the starling family (Sturnidae), a group of birds which occur naturally only in southern and eastern Asia. They prefer the open country, eat insects and fruit, and some of them are quite good at imitating sounds.
Songbird -基于 Firefox 的媒体播放器，Songbird 也以鸟命名，属于孔雀类，它的发声器官可以发出各种音调。名字和产品很和谐 the Firefox-based media player, Songbird is also named after an animal. Although neither Songbird's old nor new logo look much like it. Songbird or oscine is "a bird belonging to the suborder Passeri, in which the vocal organ is developed in such a way as to produce various sound notes, commonly known as bird song." There are many species of songbirds; interestingly enough, crows - which produce rather unpleasant sounds, at least to the human ear - are one of them.
Tern - Aviary 即将推出的地形图生成工具软件。Tern 是海鸥的一种in Web terms, is Aviary's upcoming online terrain generator tool. Just like Myna, it's not currently available even as an alpha product, but given Aviary's track record, they're both bound to be very interesting products. Tern, the bird is a seabird in the family Sternidae, a relative of gulls and skimmers. Most hunt fish by diving, but they're not particularly fond of swimming.
Thunderbird -mozilla的邮件接收程序，挺好用的。unlike other animals in this list, is either extinct or never existed, depending on which type of thunderbird you're referring to. Phorusrhacidae, also known as terror birds, were giant flightless birds that lived in South America during the Cenozoic, and they weren't nice at all, especially if they considered you as prey (which they often did with mammals of all sizes).
If we're talking cryptozoology, Thunderbird is a large bird-like creature rumored by some to still wander the Americas. Mozilla's Thunderbird - once a very important part of their product range - today seems to be on the verge of extinction, too. It's still being actively developed, and it's a great e-mail client; the problem is that no one really cares much about desktop e-mail clients anymore.
Yahoo -雅虎！Yahoo 的命名来自史蒂文生的名著《格列佛游记》中一种人面兽身的动物，Yahoo 还有另外一个意思，它是灰冠弯嘴鹛（Grey-crowned Babbler）的另一个俗称，生活在澳大利亚，印度尼西亚，以及巴布新几内亚。 besides being the popular Web portal and "the company that should have taken Microsoft's offer before everything went to hell," the word yahoo usually denominates a loud, unintelligent brute. However, there's another meaning to the word: it's the popular name for the Grey-crowned Babbler, a bird that inhabits Australia, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea. Besides its rather specific call which probably gave her the name Yahoo, it doesn't seem to be particularly interesting.
Know of another Web service or product named after an animal? Please, name it in the comments, we'd like to hear about it!
