Can someone explain this to me?

gbouras@master:~$ ping 10.0.0.12
ping: connect: Invalid argument
gbouras@master:~$ ping 10.0.0.11
PING 10.0.0.11 (10.0.0.11) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 10.0.0.11: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.079 ms
64 bytes from 10.0.0.11: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.082 ms

I understand if 10.0.0.12 doesn't exist and I get a timeout error but I don't get why it would say "Invalid argument"
