It probably is. The shortest binomial name is "la io", but that's still 4 letters! |

Well, that's what makes them interesting. I haven't been able to point a finger at what exactly makes reptiles interesting, though. |

Maybe, or perhaps because they're a bit less similar to mammals (and, therefore, humans) than birds are. |

They're derived from the same ancestor though. Oneistheloneliestnumber isn't sure what it this creature is though, probably a synaspid. |

Well, I suppose everything ultimately shares an ancestor at some point along the line. |
