This really needs to be pared down to just the Halo-relevant stuff. Also maybe something about the unexplained Earth tradition of naming military hardware after African animals. --68.44.13.236 17:34, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

I think your getting the naming scheme confused. Its named after animals from a multitude of countires. Warthog: Multiple countires, Scorpion: Multiple countires, Elephant: Multiple countires, Mongoose: India, Hornet: Multiple countires etc --Ajax 013 19:49, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Don't foget the other stuff, like the sparrowhalk, cobra, cougar, albatross, and wolverine. =P 20:11, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
