Lifted from Huffington Post because bullets are better than photo slideshows:

  • Denmark: Elephant’s Trunk
  • Germany & Poland: Monkey’s Tail
  • Greek: Little Duck
  • Hebrew: Strudel
  • Italy: Snail
  • China: Mouse
  • Kazakhstan: Moon’s Ear
  • Russia: Dog Face
  • Finland: Sleeping Cat
  • Korea: Sea Snail
  • Hungary: Maggot

In short: Americans are unimaginative.
