Why should one need a scientific name when a perfectly good common name is available? Because common names are so often imprecise or misleading. For example what is known by one name in one country may be known by another name in Another Country.



And when people all over the world speak so many different languages, one animal can have so many different names in different languages. In the scientific world, it is extremely important to know the precise information about the object we study and also to know what class or type it belongs to. The name must therefore be unique.
