How to Name Animals in German

"The German language is famous for some really long nouns (Donaudampfschiffahrtsgesellschaftskapitän comes to mind). This is because German nouns, verbs, prepositions and adjectives are like lego bricks; you can stick them together in almost any way to create new words that encapsulate new concepts. This gives the language a special ability to name just about anything."

The same happens with animal names. So here is a humored flowchart that helps discover some of our favorites. This was my first infographic for Babbel magazine.
After the sucess of the infographic we decided to make an animated version.

The content is the same, but instead of a flowchart we decided to make a typographic animation where the words express some of the animal behavior.
