Norway Rat - Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus) are originally native to northern China. Following a series of introductions, the species had found its way to Eastern Europe by the early eighteenth century. By the year 1800, they occurred in every European country.

Today, Norway rats (also known as brown rats) can be found on every continent of the world except Antarctica.

Guinea Pigs - Guinea pigs live in the wild in South America, living in rocky areas, grasslands and forest edges.

English Horns - Descended from the natural horn, the instrument is often informally known as the French horn. However, this is technically incorrect since the instrument is not French in origin, but German. Therefore, the International Horn Society has recommended since 1971 that the instrument be simply called the horn. French horn is still the most commonly used name for the instrument in the United States.
