<<... and *Kokopellia* (yes, a mammmal) is named for a sort of demi-god.>>
I was so impressed with this god, (and the marsupial relative), that I
became a devotee. Kokopelli is a humpbacked, flute-playing Hopi deity, and
his responsibilities include fertility, replenishment, music,dance and
mischief. He's a good-time god.
:-) He can be found in a quite large area, says Wikipedia.
Kokopellia enjoys the company of Adelodelphys, Pariadens mckennai and the splendid Sinbadelphys, which can translate as 'Sinbad's womb'.
