How to Name Animals in German
We didn’t have an all-time favourite flowchart. Until now. It started when Adam Rutherford said this about the way we name sharks.
Reading a paper about sharks, and it's occurred to me that we're really bad at naming sharks: Bull Shark, Whale Shark, Salmon Shark, Tiger Shark. If I was a shark I'd be like 'can't I be my own shark, instead of a fishy knock off another animal?'

And here’s what he was talking about.
And we’re with Adam.
That is genius!
