What animal are the Canary Islands named after?
A Fish
B Dog
C Bird
No, the islands are not named after the small yellow birds. The name Canary derives from the Latin ‘Canaria,’ which referred to the large dogs (canus) that once roamed the island of Gran Canaria. Tweety’s relatives are named after the archipelago—canaries are native to the islands, the Azores, and Madeira.
The correct answer is Dog.
