Animal Info - Index by Species Name (Common and Scientific Names)

This index lists both the common and scientific names of individual species in alphabetical order. Alternate names, both common and scientific, are included as separate listings.

For a listing of a common name, look under the last word in the name. For example, to find the listing for Stephens' Kangaroo Rat, look under "Rat, Stephens' Kangaroo." (There are a few exceptions to this "last word" rule; e.g. "Mexican Prairie Dog" is listed under "Prairie Dog, Mexican", not "Dog, Mexican Prairie.")

Non-English names are listed by the first word in the name, using the anglicized spelling. For example, the Nepali term for "Snow Leopard", "Hiu Chituwa", is listed under "Hiu."
