The Hunt for the Worst Latin Name

Just watch the intro. Animals have names (in Latin) but there's a lot of them, and some are bad as a result. Here they are.

Even assuming biologists didn't get to this exoplanet first, earth's common animal names include "forest man", "weaver in yellow jacket", and of course the "iunno". If biologists DID get there first, we'd have a whole new planet of "horrible bear bear", "I don't know what lizard this is but I found it in Mongolia", and "weird shrimp thing I named after my pal".

Costa Rica. Someone clearly saw a golden opportunity and took it) Diospyros virginiana (Virginian divine food (for those wondering, Persimmons are... decent.
