¿Question #5331?
ssmooth: Besides "ape" and "bear," what are some clever verbs that have been made from animals' names?

Woelf: chupacabra
ReverendRedMage: "Monkey", "snake", and "lion", to name a few.
Felimid: Rat (to tattle). Dog (to follow, as in to dog someone's footsteps). Snake (to travel on a narrow, winding path). Hog (similar to "hoard"). Pig (to eat alot, and messily at that). Wolf (to eat alot, but maybe not so messily).
the manatee: Parrot, cow, dog, fly, duck, fish, worm, weasel.
mathmagician: copycat
Phil Fleischmann: Skunk, rat, dog, worm, horse, leech, turtle, monkey, louse, cow, crow, badger, bug, fish, flounder. Good question! Duck doesn't count, because the animal name came from the verb. Swallow is probably unrelated.
daveroswell: weasel
kathleenryan: Can't think of any clever verbs, but here are some adjectives: chicken, cougar, dog, elephant, fox, ostrich, rat, worm.
ZeroZilla: Worm, weasel, fox (usually with 'out-'), chicken (again, but with '-out'), pig (it's a theme), crow (by itself), '-hawk', snake, and bug (but that one's general).
ChelseaSquare: weasel. You weaseled out on your obligations.
MisterCranky: OMG, they added thumb ratings to questions. How sad. To answer your question, though, how about "mimic"? It's not really an animal, it's an enchanted D&D treasure chest looking thing, but I think it should count.
BuddhaPhi: "chicken" and "squid" (yes, squid. Cthulhu for President!)
dogzard: rabbit - to run away; swallow (obvious); parrot - similar to ape; hound/badger - to bother; (I work at a Zoo)
mdfreeman7: leech
foxxdye: Hamster. As in, dude, you totally just hamstered your ass.
The Unbeliever: 42
DHEK: parrot.
Benzebub: Well for the gamer, "turtle" should be an obvious one.

PsyJam: My mind is drawing a blank
scriptorum: Stop dogging me! I was trying to ferret out who's been horsing around, but they ratted me out.
Nazhuret: platypus
ststrat: Weasel, rat, beaver, squirrel, and so forth.
philfry: "Pork".
