Wikipedia on Larus marinus, or the great black-backed gull:
The scientific name is from Latin. Larus appears to have referred to a gull or other large seabird. The specific name marinus means "marine", or when taken together, "sea gull".
If that's not a seagull I don't know what is.
LoL, indeed it's not tho', it's the Great Black-Backed Gull. Damn those taxonomists!!!
Yeah but like, my dog is a dog but it's also a Labrador and also has a name. The great black-backed gull is also known as Larus marinus which means sea gull, and is also commonly referred to as a seagull. By what notion is that not a seagull?
By the simple minded notion of my sense of humor. ;-) Any more hares you'd like to split?
If we split a hare we'll both go hungry cause hares are small and I'm vegetarian
Wow who said anything about eating it? You display it on the mantelpiece.
