Seemingly a blind amphibian (Aquaman’s crippled brother?), which sticks its head in the sand, has been named after the US president.
I wonder which other new creatures we might find which could be named after world leaders...
I heard they discovered a new species of rodent, closely related to the skunk. When it’s in trouble it lets rip a poisonous gas. It’s been named the Mephitidae Putinus ExKayGeeBeeus.
@shavixmir saidIf you are implying the antics of Donald J Trump might encourage copy cats to try the same thing in other countries, I'd say it's possible.

@mchill saidUh... no.

The article is real, what I’m implying is: make up other new creatures with politician’s traits and give it a Latin name.
For example:
They’ve discovered a sub-species of Haggis on the Outer-Hebredies; it’s slower than its mainland counterparts. They’re calling it the Haggi mchillest mostus slowus.
Amazing!
@shallow-blue saidI read they discovered a new virus without a sense of humor. It’s called Shallow Fungus Bluitis.
Extremely childish. It's high time the left stopped trying to emulate the right.

@philokalia saidcorrect!
Because, like, Donald Trump, buries his head in the sand, right, by, like... being ignorant...
amirite?

@philokalia saidOh, stop it, you’re just fishing for a Latin name...
Ohh, the scientific community strikes again!
How witty.
... buries his head in the sand...
Get it?

@shavixmir saidIt took me a while, too, to find out that giving people stupid nicknames is not in fact humorous; however, I am at least that much an adult now. Seems not everybody on the left is. (Nor most people on the right.)
