And I didn't mean to say that you said the Romans named them; I was glad that you might correct a misconception represented online. But once I noticed the discussion (you'll have to forgive me for barging in; I'm frequently on Haploidavey's page), I did become intrigued by when the animals got the name, because it seems an imaginative and self-conscious piece of naming, and I'm interested in the ways scientists and naturalists used their classical educations in the 1500s–1900s.   05:41
