I don't think he named any animals. He just came up with the whole idea of scientific classifications of animals so scientists that spoke different languages could speak together about the classifications of animals and still understand each other. The scientific classifications of the animals were based on the Latin language.
Answer
Linnaeus set up the whole binomial-hierarchical system of classification. In his time, he named (i.e. gave a binomial name to) about 12000 species of plants and animals.
Examples of animals that he named are:
Rattus rattus Linnaeus, 1758 (black rat)
Fringilla domestica Linnaeus, 1758 now called Passer domesticus Linnaeus, 1758 (house sparrow)
Caluromys philander Linnaeus, 1758 (bare tailed woolly oppossum)
Tolypeutes tricinctus Linnaeus, 1758 (Brazilian 3 banded armadillo)
Carl Linnaeus is known for his work in the field of taxonomy, which is a branch of biology that involves classifying and naming living organisms. He developed the binomial nomenclature system, which is still used today for naming species.
The system for naming species using two words is called binomial nomenclature. This naming system was developed by Carl Linnaeus and assigns each species a two-part name consisting of the genus and species names.
Yes, Carl Linnaeus was a Swedish scientist known as the "father of modern taxonomy." He developed the binomial nomenclature system for classifying and naming organisms.
Carl Linnaeus is known as the father of modern taxonomy. Although a system of binomial naming had been in use for some time, it was unorganized. Linnaeus, through documented studies and publications, was able to normalize the naming system that is still in use today.
Carl Linnaeus is the Swedish scientist who is credited with developing the two-part naming system known as binomial nomenclature for categorizing and naming species in biology.
Binomial nomenclature
Yes, Linnaeus devised binomial nomeclature.
Binomial nomenclature.
Genus and species
Linnaeus used his observations to devise a naming system for organisms. hes naming system was called binomial nomenclature. using this system each organism is given a 2 part name. the first part of a scientific name is called genus and the second is called species.

Linnaeus called his system for naming organisms "binomial nomenclature," which involves giving each species a two-part Latin name consisting of the genus and species. This system is still used in biology today.
Linnaeus is known for establishing a two-part naming system called binomial nomenclature, which includes genus and species names. This system forms the foundation for modern taxonomy and classification of organisms.
