Wouri River
"L. turneranus" is "probably the only crustacean ... for which a country is named". When the Portuguese discovered the Wouri River in the 15th century, they witnessed a swarm of "L. turneranus", and therefore named the river ' ("river of the shrimp"). That name was anglicised to "Cameroons River", which came to be used for the whole country, and borrowed into other languages (including the French ', the German ' and the Dutch ').
