Carl Linnaeus had several hobbies, including botany, gardening, and collecting plants. He was also interested in zoology and taxonomy, and spent much of his time studying and classifying various species of plants and animals. Additionally, Linnaeus enjoyed exploring nature and the outdoors, often going on expeditions to observe and document different species in their natural habitats.
Carl Linnaeus was primarily interested in botany, taxonomy, and the classification of living organisms. He developed the system of binomial nomenclature, which is still widely used in naming species today. Linnaeus also had a passion for travel and exploration, which enabled him to study a wide variety of plant and animal species.
Carl Linnaeus created the binomial nomenclature, where species are identified by their Genus and species name in Latin.
In Linnaeus's classification system, the smallest group is a species. A species is defined as a group of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring.
Linnaeus did not believe that species could change over time. He proposed the concept of fixed species, where each species had a distinct and unchanging form. This idea was influential in shaping early biological classification systems.

Species
In Linnaeus's classification system, the smallest group is a species. A species is defined as a group of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring.
Carl Linnaeus simplified the naming of living things by giving species a two-part scientific name (binomial nomenclature) to provide a standardized and universally accepted system for identifying and classifying organisms. This naming system helps in avoiding confusion caused by using different common names for the same species and ensures clarity and consistency in communication among scientists worldwide.

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.AnswerLinnaeus 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)
