We use two scientific names for animals to provide a universal and precise identification system known as binomial nomenclature. The first name indicates the genus, while the second specifies the species, helping to avoid confusion caused by common names that may vary by region or language. This system, established by Carl Linnaeus, ensures that each organism has a unique and standardized name, facilitating clear communication among scientists worldwide.
Scientific names follow a specific set of rules. Scientist use a two-name system called a binomial naming system. Scientists name animals and plants using the system that describes the genus and species of the organism. The first word is the genus and the second is the species.
Scientific names are very specific. The common names of many animals are just that, common. One common name may be the widely accepted name for multiple animals or plants. Common names for plants and animals also vary with region.

Scientific Names are used to identify things by their Family and Kingdom. One part refers to the general "where does this fall" and the other refers to "this is what it is"
I believe that people should stop using animals for scientific use
cuz day smartz
If you do not harm the animals than yes you should.
Scientific names never differ among scientists.
Scientists use scientific names (binomial nomenclature) for organisms because it provides a standardized way to uniquely identify and classify species. These names are internationally recognized and help to avoid confusion due to different common names for the same organism. Additionally, scientific names often convey information about the evolutionary relationships between different species.
The scientific name is used; in place of a common name, to convey the exact spices that is referring to. Without scientific names and only referring to common names animals can be confused among a group of people. ie. Indian Dwarf Puffer, Pee puffer, Malabar pufferfish, Pea pufferfish, pygmy pufferfish, BB puffer are all Carinotetraodon travancoricus.
To reduce the use of animals in research.
The two-word Latin names are essential to scientists because they are the common names that scientists all over the world use in the same way, relardless of their own language, to describe the family and species (hence the two words) of all living things. Without the Latin name, scientist would be endlessly looking in dictionaries to find out which organism exactly a scientist from another country was describing in an article or book and there would be endless misunderstandings between them if all countries and language groups had their own way of naming and classifying living organisms.
