Adventures in Google Searching Animals

I found out (accidentally) that Google searches for "sperm whale", "naked mole rat", and "great tit" are all blocked on school computers. I tried to do reports on all of these animals at various times without even thinking that their names might cause problems before it was too late. :p


I've had the same problem with Drills. :p



Canada Goose causes the clothing company to come up, Kiyi comes up with a character from the Avatar: TLA comics, and Bloater comes up with just about everything except Coregonus hoyi.

I've accidentally had that problem many times, and also absent mindedly searched for 'blue footed boobies'. I was just looking for if any zoo kept them, but sure enough the 'securly' popped up.
 
Searching “cuscus” gives you couscous, the North African food. Spelled differently in American English, but in some other languages the 2 are spelled the same.

Searching the snakehead genus “Channa” yields the Indian dish Chana masala, or other pictures of Indian chickpeas.
 
This is technically a right answer, but whenever I search the Korean skate, it always comes up with restaurant menus for Hongeo-hoe, a dish made out of the animal, mainly what it's known for. Not entirely redirecting, but doing research about the animal makes you need to do a little more digging about the general information about the species thats not a food item.
