So…English. Lots of the names for animals for when they’re alive and needing to be tended are Germanic: Cow, Pig, Sheep. But the words for when they’re prepared as food are Frankish: Beef, Pork, Lamb. Probably because at one point the Frankish conquerors were the upper-class eating the food raised by the lower-class Germanic folk.
And then there’s (fairly common) Chicken. He didn’t ask “What animal is Poultry?”
