What animal words are used for
Animal words are the universal starter deck of word games: every player from age five up knows them, they're instantly drawable (Pictionary), actable (charades), and describable (twenty questions). If you're building a mixed-age game night, an animal round is the safest opener there is.
They also punch above their weight in language teaching — animal vocabulary is among the first fields taught in any new language — and in writing, where an animal often carries a story's imagery ('the meeting circled like vultures'). Generate a handful and notice how many arrive with a personality already attached: that's centuries of fable and idiom doing the work.
