The Latin name “ chinensis ” is somewhat misleading as is much more common in Southeast Asia than in China – apparently, it was chosen in the mistaken belief that the type specimen had come from China. If you are afraid of spiders, you might want to get a pet Streaked Spiderhunter. I am only joking!

The shame would kill them. ” As well as in Southeast Asia, there are also Spotted Laughingthrushes (photos taken at Longcanggou and Wolongshan, Sichuan) at the San Diego Zoo. In retrospect, I bet they kept White-crested Laughingthrushes as pets (Hongbenghe, Yunnan). Better lose some lady friends than a mediocre joke).

That was a wild cat, a wild Wildcat, the cat that lives in the wild because that is where it is from and where it belongs, at the southern end of its pan-African range that extended at one time well into Europe and Asia. This is approximated by the size of the animal, but really, this has to be adjusted for depending on modality of killing.

Elliot’s Laughingthrush is named after Daniel Giraud Elliot (1835 – 1915), an American ornithologist who apparently did not really do anything related to laughingthrushes and/or Asia but was rich. Maybe that was enough. At least he did not have a book titled “The Art of the Deal” ghostwritten for him.
