Which species has the strangest scientific name?

Starling - Sturnus vulgaris (how rude!)\nwestern meadowlark - Sturnella neglecta (how sad!)\nsavannah sparrow - Passerculus sandwichensis (how yummy!)\nThen there's the one that cracks me up even though it doesn't mean anything else in English: roseate spoonbill - Ajaia ajaja. The j's are pronounced like y's.\n\nSorry, I only know birds!

You know, most of the world's animal species do not have common names.  Only those that average folks are fairly well aquainted with end up with common names.  Most vertebrates have common names, but most invertebrates don't, except those that are popular with many people, like butterflies.

The scientific name is <i>Pygoscelis antarctica</i>, so you could google on both common and latin name.\nSome sites I found:\nhttp://www.antarcticconnection.com/antarctic/wildlife/penguins/chinstrap.shtml\nhttp://www.greglasley.net/chinstra.html\nhttp://www.nzbirds.com/birds/chinstrappenguin.html\nhttp://www.penguinworld.com/types/chinstrap.html\nhttp://www.tuxxie.org//species/chinstrap.html

After the scientific name , the name of the scientist is added to that name in an abbreviated form. for example-:\n 1) Annona squamosa,Linn.in which Linn. stands for Carl Linnaeus who gave that name to that plant and it has been ratified by the Botanical Congress.\n Roxb. in your question must similarly be for some scientist who has gave the name . It could be some Roxemberg.\n When exact species of a plant is not known then only spp. is written in the space for the specific name.\n for example in (1) above. If the species of that Annona tree is not known then it will be Annona spp. instead of Annona squamosa.

The only one I can think of is the shellfish called mussels.\n\nThese links should help you figure it out.

Closest you will get to a proper name is Cryptozoology.\n\nBut this also covers modern myths like Nessie, Bigfoot, Chupacabra etc

I agree with that other person, the shortest name would probably be Ed. As for the longest one, the longest one I found (and there are actually people named this ) was Chrysanthemum, and the second longest I found was Artemisiaart

There have been some pretty weird ones out there, but the weirdest one of all is yet to come.\n\nI get done answering this question, then I stumble on this one:\n"how many teeth as a water snail got they do have them?"

I may be wrong but it sounds lik the name of a flower. It's a really nice name by the way...

It's that so weird, we were just talking about that in class today, this girl said the most weirdest names, skittles, poochie, shalaquifa, one even said that if she had twins, she would name them, today and tomorrow. What kind of names are these? Therefore answering your question, I really don't know. Maybe they think it's cute or something, but to tell you the truth, names like that are embarrassing to live by.

I believe you mean the word" Binomial nomenclature". The word Binomial nomenclature mean the formal method of naming species. As the word "binomial" suggests, the scientific name of a species is formed by the combination of two terms: the genus name and the species descriptor. Although the fine detail will differ, there are certain aspects which are universally adopted.
