Give an example of an animal that has one scientific name but two or more common names?
Except possibly for obsolete scientific names due to reclassifications, every animal has just one scientific name -- such is the virtue of scientific names. Many animals are called by different names in different parts of the world and so have many common names. In fact, only the rarest , most narrowly distributed animals have only one common name.

What do scientist use to refer to organisms because common names can create confusion?
A scientific nomenclature for a plant or animal is universally accepted in the scientific community, and relates to that plant or animal only (though may be changed if studies reveal new information). Several common names can be used for the same plant or animal depending on where in the World.
What are the scientific names for animal like protists?
Its clitoris.
Would you expect a field guide to have common names as well as scientific names?
Yes, a field guide typically includes both common names and scientific names of species to help readers easily identify and learn about the organisms being described. Common names can vary regionally, so including scientific names provides a universal reference point for accurate identification.
How do you find common names for scientific names of protists?
A lot of protists have only been recently discovered or due to their small size are virtually unknown to most people. This causes many of them to lack common names. However, for those that do have common names you can usually find them by doing a google search. Also see the Wikipedia page on protists where many are shown with their common and scientific names.
What is an example of Science names for flowers?
EXAMPLE OF IT? OK!!! FLORA,FLORES, WHAT ELSE YOU GIVE ALSO DONT JUST LET ME THINK DEEPER!!!! :< BLLLLLLLLLL.............!!!!!!
What animal has the same common name and scientific name?
No because if two animals have the exact same scientific name then they would be the same animal.
What is used for an organism because it is the same to everyone everywhere?
A scientific name is what is used for an organism so that everyone, everywhere will know what it is. Scientific names are important because a single animal, for example, may go by many different common names depending on region.
Why do scientists use scientific names instead of common ones give an example?
Scientists use scientific names (binomial nomenclature) to avoid confusion caused by different common names for the same species. For example, the scientific name for the domestic dog is Canis lupus familiaris, which clearly indicates its relationship to the wolf (Canis lupus) and distinguishes it from other species with similar common names.
Why intruduce a scientific name?
Common names vary greatly from one location to another. One example is the mountain lion, also known as the puma and cougar, as well as several other common names. However, scientific names are the same worldwide. The scientific name of the puma/cougar/mountain lion is Puma concolor. So if you want to talk to other scientists about this animal, you would use the scientific name rather than the common name to avoid confusion.
Why do scientists use scientific names instead of common names?
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.
What do scientist use to refer to organisms because common names can create confusion?
A scientific nomenclature for a plant or animal is universally accepted in the scientific community, and relates to that plant or animal only (though may be changed if studies reveal new information). Several common names can be used for the same plant or animal depending on where in the World.
Why do animal have different scientific names when they had the easier common names?
Scientific names provide a universal way to precisely identify and classify organisms, regardless of language or location. They help avoid confusion that can arise from different regions using different common names for the same organism. Additionally, scientific names often reflect the evolutionary relationships among species, providing valuable information beyond just a description of the organism.
What are the scientific names for animal like protists?
Its clitoris.
Are there any species that have the same scientific name?
No. The reason behind giving an animal a scientific name is to be able to easily identify it. It helps us not to get confused as people sometimes do with common names that are common to multiple species of animals.
Why are plants given a scientific name along with a common name?
Scientific names are exact. They tell us the genus and species that the animal or plant belongs to and only one scientific name is given to each species. Common names, on the other hand, are abundant with many species having two or more common names. Let's look at the cougar as an example. Its scientific name is Puma concolor. It's common names include cougar, Florida panther, panther, puma, catamount and mountain lion. A puma is neither a panther nor a lion. It is in a genus that it shares with the jaguarundi so you can see where confusion would come in.
Example of common names to identify living organisms?
Common names like "rose" for a plant or "dog" for an animal are used to identify living organisms in everyday language. These names can vary by region and language and may not always be unique to a specific species, leading to potential confusion. Scientific or Latin names are typically used for precise identification.
