Kame
A kame is a geological feature, an irregularly shaped hill or mound composed of sorted or stratified sand and gravel that is deposited in contact with the glacial ice. It can have an irregular shape. Kames are often associated with kettles, and this is referred to as kame and kettle topography.When the ice retreats further, the delta kame often collapses. Kame terraces are frequently found along the side of a glacial valley and are the deposits of meltwater streams flowing between the ice and the adjacent valley side.Kames are sometimes compared to drumlins, but their formation is distinctively different. A drumlin is not originally shaped by meltwater, but by the ice itself and has a quite regular shape. It occurs in fine grained material, such as clay or shale, not in sands and gravels. And drumlins usually have concentric layers of material, as the ice successively plasters new layers in its movement.

Kame
[Other] Kame was one of the two brothers who created animals. He is from Caingang Indian mythology. It is said that he appeared from the inside of a mountain. While his brother Kayuruke made all the useful animals, Kame made all the harmful animals. After they were done, they decided that the jaguars were too dangerous and plotted to kill them. They would lure the jaguars onto a tree trunk and push it out into the river where the jaguars would drown. But when the time came to push the trunk into the water, some of the jaguars clung to the riverbank. Kame was too scared to push them in the water, so there are still jaguars around today.
