Does anybody know the scientific latin for Bowman's Wolf?

I could post this on the Talk About Comics forum, but I'd much rather read opinions that make sense

The Latin name for the red wolf (the basis for the Bowman's Wolf) is Canis lupus rufis. I guess for the Bowman's Wolf, it would be either that with sapiens added on or just Canis lupus sapiens.

I seem to recall a discussion about this on the old Freefall forum back in the day.

Lupus kalipygii

Call-y-piggy? Come again?

[thefoxaroo]

Yes that has me baffled too, but I *LOVE* all the others! LOL

Mzzkitti would be interesting, as she's not an Earth feline. Plus at one point I recall Bill saying that he'd considered including some lemur traits in her species.

Zigzag would be another... XD

Archae too.

For Sebastian I've never really thought about what type of wallaby his father was, nor the desirable species of chameleon.

Now Michael on the other hand is a cross between a Vulpes Vulpes and a Macropus Giganteus (yes, that's real), so how is that combination written down?

[dhlawrence]

Archae would probably be Archaeopteryx sapeins. Mzzkitti would probably be Felis sapiens moggus or something similar. Don't know about Zig, though.

FWIW, the Warners from "Animaniacs" were identified by senior producer Tom Ruegger as "Cartoonus characteris."

I guess you had to be there... :|

What's FWIW stand for?

"For What It's Worth."

I like it! Must remember that one.
