Title: Scientific Smarts

To play:
I say an animal, the next person has to guess what its scientific name is. Its like a game show basically, cuz If you guess correct, you get certain points for certain types of animls. If its guessed correct, I have to say another animal and the cycle starts again. The thing is, you CAN NOT use a book, encyclopedia, or anything that will tell you the answer. This is testing you animal smarts, scientific wise.

Wikipedia is not accurate, because people can easily edit the pages and make it say whatever people want it to say. You are not allowed to use articals that will give you the answers anyway.
