The names that we use to refer to things and beings around us are not the same as the names used in the scientific community. Often derived from Greek, Latin, or other foreign languages, scientific names can be a tad bit difficult to keep in mind. This is precisely why you should be prepared with them for CLAT! Remember that the scientific name will change depending on the species and genus. Therefore be careful and keep in mind the specific kind while answering questions about scientific names. Read the following common names of animals with their scientific names, all compiled by our CLAT coaching in Kolkata experts, to know more.
