Animal care.
Question 1.
A swedish naturalist, Carolus Linnaeus, is the person who first devised the binominal system of nomenclature in which every species of animal or plant is given two names. One of these is the specific or trival name and it differentiates the species from all others, whilst the others, generic name, which is placed before the specific name, is shared by other related species, which are considered to be sufficiently similar to be grouped in the same genus. Both specific and generic names are always constructed in latin and are always printed italics - slanted or underlined. The generic name having a capital and the specific name a small initial letter.
