Prairie Island Units 1 And 2: Fill & Download for Free

Probably just ’cause the equivalents can sound weird in English.“Hey there, buddy-boo. Let’s go swim in the Nut River.” (The Nueces.) Hard to say why, but it just sounds better in Spanish. The “Noo-ay-says.”Hidalgo County has a snappy ring to it that you don’t find in “Gentleman County,” or “Son of Something” County — the literal translation of hidalgo, a.k.a. hijo de algo, “son of something.”Doesn’t “Dinero, Texas” just sound better and less crass than “Money, Texas”?La Chuparosa, Texas… now there’s a town with a sweet name. It means the “rose-sucker,” a.k.a. “the hummingbird.” But something about “Hummingbird, Texas” sounds clunky. And nobody — and I mean nobody — names a town after suckers.Amarillo, Texas: seriously who the heck moves to a place called “Yellow, Texas.” (“Honey, I’m just DONE with Cincinnati. I’m sick of this weird-ass name. I’m finished! We’re moving to Yellow.) Amarillo, for the record, was named after the yellow wildflowers that grow around there. I’m not a Texan — though I’d gladly become one — and “The Yellow Rose of Texas” is a beautiful song.[1]Spanish, by the way, isn’t the only language that survives on the map of the United States. Somehow, “Dog Prairie, Wisconsin” doesn’t sound as good as Prairie du Chien (pronounced “Pray-ree doo sheen” locally). “Clearwater, Wisconsin” is allright, but there’s a romanticism in “Eau Claire.” Corpus Christi is actually a Latin name — and I’m pretty sure I’m not the only person who thinks “Body of Christ, Texas” has a bizarre ring. Too bizarre.New York is full of Dutch names that sound funky in English: Broken Land (Brooklyn), Young Gentlemen (Yonkers), Harlem (no equivalent), Konijneneiland (“Coney” Island, after an old-fashioned word for “Rabbit.” Konijnen and Coney are related to the Spanish word conejo (rabbit), but “Rabbit Island” sounds ridiculous in English.) Or there’s Kinderhook (“Children’s Corner.”) Who would ever take “Children’s Corner, New York” seriously?[2] For some not-very-clear reason, these sound perfectly fine in French or Dutch. But they don’t “click” in English.(PS — some words have different meanings in other languages, even when the translation itself is literal. The Dutch referred to what we now know as Governor’s Island in New York as Nooten Eylandt, “Nuts Island.” A “nut,” in English, is slang for “a crazy person.” If you’ve rowed out to Nuts Island, you’ve gone to a “mad house,” an insane asylum, “gone snapperoni,” “he’s crazier than a fish with tits.” Nooten Eylandt was actually called — incorrectly — “Nutten Island,” for a while, in English. But since the word “Nutten” also evokes “Nuttin’” [“nothing,” “ain’t got nuttin’”], this struck English ears as bizarre. It sounded even worse to German ears, since Nutten means "whores" in German. Whores' Island. At the end of the 1700s, New Yorkers just changed it to “Governor’s Island.” It’s been that way ever since.)Footnotes[1] Ernest Tubb - The Yellow Rose Of Texas[2] Dutch names in New York, with soundfiles

My countrymen are letting me down.I’ve scrolled through a lot of the other answers and most of the Americans writing them are talking about animals that are endemic to North America but aren’t unique to the United States—animals also found in Canada, such as the American bison, moose, bald eagles, coyotes, etc., or animals that could also be found in Mexico, like ocelots, rattlesnakes, Gila monsters, and the California condor. That, or they’re talking about fauna which are unique to their home state but, again, aren’t unique to the United States, and may also be found in either Canada or Mexico.C’mon, you guys.The question is what does your country have. No other country except Australia has kangaroos, and no other country except China has pandas (except those found in zoos, of course).So let’s talk about some animals that are actually unique to the good old United States of America. And only the United States of America.One answer I saw did mention the Hawaiian monk seal, and I applaud the author, but I’m going to restrict this discussion to the contiguous United States and leave Alaska and Hawaii out of it. Hawaii alone has so many unique animal species that it’s worth an answer of its own.So! To begin: animal species found in the contiguous United States and nowhere else on Earth include the…1. Red wolfFound only in the southeastern United States, from Texas to the Mid-Atlantic. It’s probably a mix between the Eastern wolf and the coyote (themselves uniquely North American species).2. Key deerA very rare and diminutive type of deer found only in the Florida Keys.3. Giant kangaroo ratAn endangered species of kangaroo rat found only in the deserts of Southern California. I used to see dozens of these things while driving around on dirt roads at night when I lived in the Mojave.4. Island foxYet another endangered species, found only on California’s Channel Islands.5. Greater prairie chickenIt’s, um, nothing to be proud of, for sure. But they made darn good eating for settlers and pioneers.6. American alligatorLike the red wolf, it’s found only in the southeastern US. It’s so uniquely American that it’s the official animal of three states (Florida, Louisiana, and Mississippi).7. Eastern diamondback rattlesnakeThe southeastern United States is seeming wilder and wilder all the time, ain’t it? This venomous pit viper blends right in with the leaf litter, so watch your step.8. Shortnose garA very primitive fish that can be found in the basins of our country’s two mightiest rivers: the Mississippi and the Missouri. They range from Montana to the Ohio River and down to the Gulf Coast.9. Shovelnose sturgeonThe smallest species of sturgeon found in North America—and the most abundant, hence the reason it’s the only commercially fished sturgeon species in the country. Also called “hackleback,” “switchtail,” or “sand sturgeon,” it can be found in the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers.10. Giant sequoiaCan’t forget plants now, can we? Giant sequoias, also called giant redwoods, are only found on the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada. They are the biggest species of tree on the planet and have exceedingly long lifespans—the oldest known giant sequoia is roughly 3,200 years old.11. Venus flytrapBet you didn’t know the Venus flytrap was American, did ya? I sure didn’t. It’s only found in the subtropical wetlands of North and South Carolina. It’s lucky for all of us that they only eat bugs.I got all this info here in case you’re curious.
