This is so freaky, I wanted to make this exact thread like a few weeks ago. I was going to post a random animal generator link. I tried it but I kind of fucked myself on the one I did at first so I might try again later. Here's the generator I used though. https://www.randomlists.com/random-animals
You have to change it to show 1 animal and cover up the picture area so you can just read the name without seeing the reference.

No, obviously. It somewhat surprised me I couldn't recognize those. But then again newts rarely come up when discussing feminine dicks and whatnot on this Cantonese cartoon forum.

No idea what I was going for with the background.
