1. 1 When you were younger, your mother cautioned you not to act like an animal. 2 What Mother obviously didn’t realize is that much of the rest of the world holds animals in such high regard that they use animals’ names for their organizations and products. 3 For instance, many professional sports teams, such as the Tigers and Rams, have chosen animal names to suggest power. 4 Also cars are given name to make consumers associate them with speed and grace. 5 Examples are the Jaguar, the Cougar, and the Bobcat. 6 Even our political parties have adopted animals to represent them.
