I was wondering if you could help me find these words:

- polar bear (in a Canadian, Skandinavian or Siberian endangered language)
- coral (in maybe an Oceanic endangered language)
- cuckoo (in a European endangered language)
- butterfly (ideally a British endangered language)

this is for an exhibition at UCL's Octagon gallery, where we would like to
create a link between the language loss and global decline in biodiversity. 

Thank you!!
