Isn’t it obvious?
The great horned snail!
Obvious? Since when scientists give obvious names? It might be “brown-headed mountain snail” or “Dark Hay Devourer of Doom”
Most animals were not named by scientists…
Did a scientist name horses, cows, cats or other older animals?
Lineaus: Am I a joke to you?
As a Swede, absolutely not, but plenty of animals had their name before him cataloging them. He did give them a schematic name, but few people use the schematic name in daily conversation
Since when scientists give obvious names?
May I present to you, the red-winged blackbird, which is easily identifiable as it’s a black bird with red wings.
Less obvious is the red-bellied woodpecker of North America, which has a large cowl of red on its head, but is named for the rusty brown-red belly, and should not be confused with the red-headed woodpecker which has a solid red head.
Wait wait wait, slow down. Can you say that in plain language? None of that science mumble jumbo?

Are they racing?
Those aren’t snails, they’re actually French pastries.
Hey dear, I see what you did there.
