AS and EC, animal names.

Is it from the company to call their helicopters animal names? What is the criteria for the names?

I can name some, Squirrel (Ecureiul), Fennec (it's a fox), Puma, the super powerful transformation of the last Super Puma, Cougar, Dauphin, Panther, Tiger, Colibri (now that I think, they should name the EC130 Super Colibri as well as the EC155 the Super Dauphin or Super Panther), Lama, Allouette (it's a bird), Gazelle, etc.

Some I cannot find the name are EC135 and EC145 as well as for the new EC175... Wonder why?

Regards.

EDIT: Ah... I forgot one, Super Frelon.
