Scientific Names Even a Dumbass Should Know

Hey! You may be twice as stupid as a cow. But even so, you may know a scientific name, or two. Like many know the scientific name for most of the human species. Correct. It’s Homo sapiens. That’s one scientific name, many may know.

OK. What are some other scientific names everyone may know. How about these, Rattus rattus and Mus musculus, two of humanities oldest and most loved symbionts. Yes. Almost everyone can name those popular rodents.

How about Dasypus nomvemcinctus and Procyon lotor? I bet you know those. Or Turdus migratorius. I bet you know that.

Here’s one everyone knows? It’s humanities oldest insect friend, Apis mellifera.

So there they are, seven scientific names anyone can drop, anywhere. Want to seem intelligent, drop a scientific name or two. You might get laid.
