Behind the scenes
- In taxonomy, the term for Latin names is binomial nomenclature ("two-term naming system"), or binary nomenclature, referring to the naming of living organisms by giving each a name composed of two parts, usually in Latin grammatical forms.
- In real life, the 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.
