Then again, why would anyone name a bird after a botanist, let alone one I only just made up right now? In the right light, the male Common Pheasant can look ridiculously attractive. But not in Europe either. Some ornithological research is surprisingly simple. Not an in-vitro photo.

In the European Union there are only 10,000 mature bears (source: IUCN). Not at all.
