Animal Fakes - Random Trivia Questions

While researching last week's body parts quiz, I discarded the humerus as a question because the common name (upper arm) wasn't straightforward enough. Some people like to joke that it's the funny bone, but that is actually a nerve, the ulnar nerve, not a bone. In the animal kingdom, the same confusion is common. Do you know what these things really are?
