If you leave out the numbers, you're writing fantasy. Fine if that's what you want to do, but that isn't what I want to do.

Per the words of a guy I know:

"The answer is not to not provide numbers. It is to find your most autistic critics and provide them early access in exchange for doing the math."

Can't say as I'm too surprised by the first. That is, after all, what "hippopotamus" literally means.

And bats are called "flying mice" in multiple languages. German comes immediately to mind.

German has several (near-)matches

Flusspferd - Riverhorse - Hippo
Schwertwal/Killerwal - Swordwhale/Killerwhale - Orca
Tintenfisch - Inkfish - Squid/Cuttlefish
Faultier - Lazyanimal - Sloth
-
Schnabeltier - Beakanimal - Platypus
Fledermaus - Flatter? mouse - Bat
Schildkroete - Shieldtoad - Turtle
Waschbaer - Washbear - Racoon

The "Igel" - Hedgehog is a non-match

We could just continue with English, by translating Greek and Latin roots.

porcupine = spine pig
hippopotamus = river horse
platypus = flat foot
sloth = slow
opossum = white dog (via Powhatan)
seahorse
sea lion
mudhen
catfish
clownfish
raccoon dog
prairie dog
