Wile E. Coyote gave Bugs Bunny a Latin name in the shoet Rabbit's Feat, althought it was spoken instead of being shown on-screen: Rabbitus-Idioticus-Delicius.
Behind the scenes
- In taxonomy, the actual term for Latin names is binomial nomenclature ("two-term naming system"), or binary nomenclature, referring to the naming of species by giving each with a name composed of two parts, usually in Latin grammatical forms.
- The actual scientific names for the coyote and roadrunner are Canis latrans and Geococcyx, respectively; although Geococcyx is a genus name and not one referring to a singular species.
