"The zebra crossing, which was supposedly named by a government official who remarked that the design resembled a zebra, was just the first animal-named crosswalk type in Britain. Just a few years later, in 1962, a short-lived pedestrian crossing known as a "panda crossing" was introduced in Britain, writes Joel Taylor for Metro UK. It was confusing to drivers, so it was replaced with the pelican crossing. Australia has wombat crossings. Tucson, AZ, has HAWKs." -- Kat Eschner, "A Short History of the Crosswalk", Smithsonian, 2017-10-31
