Entomology (study of insects) Ethology (study of animal behavior) Herpetology (study of reptiles[and amphibians?]) Icthyology (study of fish) Mammology (study of mammals) Ornithology (study of birds)
Herpetologists are experts on all reptiles, not just snakes. the adjectives Ophidian and Serpentine apply to the serpentine creatures proper. Ophidomania might me a manic condition about snakes. There was an electronic device called and ophidian thermocouple- a heat sensor- that was actually patterned after one installed ( by nature) in a sidewinder snake. Ophidomania- condition, Ophidiomaniac- snake maniac! beware. I knew a guy like that when I was a kid- first it was Icthyology ( fish biology) then, by Gawrsh, he diverged into reptiles. used to panic half the class bringing in manuals on reptiles to class!
Mean as a rattlesnake.
"Savanna" mean "savane"
I think you mean "scalene", or uneven in length.
It can help explain the study of fish: ICThyology.
Robert H. Schomburgk has written: 'Twelve views in the interior of Guiana' 'A description of British Guiana' 'Icthyology'
Itchthyology is the branch of zoology that focuses on the study of fish. It involves the examination of their anatomy, behavior, evolution, and habitat. Itchthyologists play a key role in understanding and conserving valuable aquatic ecosystems.
Early Greek Christians used the acronym Icthys, or Icthus- latinized as a sign for Jesus Christ, son of God, savior, or similar meaning, it was a sort of code phrase and was written in greek letters inside a stylized Fish symbol, for some reason it is easier to draw a fish backwards!-from the tail end. Icthyology is of course the study of Fish and is derived from the Greek, as many Early Christians were fisherman- such as St.Peter, the symbolism is right-on.

A few of the many are: Marine Ethology, Coral Taxonomy, Micro Biology, Marine Mammology, Icthyology, Fisheries and Aquaculture, Deep Sea ecology, Marine Herpetology, Marine Ornithology, Marine Invertebrate zoology.
you mean what you mean
It mean what you don't what does it mean.
Mean is the average.
What does GRI mean? What does GRI mean?
The correct usage is "what DOES it mean"
