Michael: Because it's fun, and because they're extremely easy to describe in a small space. <p>Charles: I just saw your comment under Flamingo, which suggests Cadan for the 8:3 leaper; that could cause problems with its dual, though. You have a good point with Lamelrider and Somelrider. <p>I have also found a site which lists <a href='http://www.ultimateungulate.com/'>all ungulate species</a>; that might help with some more names. Meanwhile, a few triangulator suggestions: Stork + Somel = Shiatsu or Sapajou; Albatross + Lamel = Bhalu; Curate + Cumel = Caribou. <p>Finally, you mention Rootrider without a precedent, and I fail to see the connection between Pastor and Nose.
