An animals name contain clues as to where that animal looks like , its color . some times to wheres its from... It's kind of a cheat sheet ... Like asking where a word originates from in order to spell it right ...

Scientific names help narrow it down to one kind of plant or animal (species). If we used common names it would be difficult to know sometimes what plant people are talking about. What you call a Flame tree I might call a Sun tree. With scientific names everybody knows exactly what plant or animal we are talking about.
