A Different Animal Game

Hi, I came up with this concept for a game earlier today, and I thought I'd test it out.

The Goal: Create as diverse a list as possible between all the replies to this thread
The Rules: I will start the game with a list of animals, where one part of the first animal's common name must be found in the common name of the second, and so on (ex. Mountain Gorilla, Western Lowland Gorilla, Western Diamondback Rattlesnake, and so on). You can post a list of as many or as few animals as you'd like, and replies must start with an animal that fills this criteria for the last animal in the previous post. I shall start:

Mountain Gorilla
Western Lowland Gorilla
Western
Diamondback Rattlesnake
Diamondback Terrapin
Red-eared Terrapin
Red-eared
Guenon
Moustached Guenon
Moustached
Warbler
Yellow Warbler
Blue and Yellow Macaw
Blue Whale

Enjoy the game! And just a note, I underlined the word in each name that is shared with the previous just to make it easier to determine which word matches. It is not necessary but it does make it easier. Let the game begin!
