A key to the site
Everything here, classified
Named according to conventions I have not been granted the authority to use.
-
Animalia · Chordata · Mammalia · Carnivora · Canidae
Canis familiaris honi
The good dog, greater
Rated eight billion. Does not know the site exists. Correct attitude.
-
Animalia · Chordata · Mammalia · Carnivora · Canidae
Canis familiaris bellae
The good dog, lesser only by alphabet
Also eight billion. The ranking is non-competitive and I will not discuss it.
-
Animalia · Chordata · Aves · Anseriformes · Anatidae
Anser subscalaris
The basement goose
Escapes. Bites. Returns under protest. Appears roughly once in fifty visits.
-
Animalia · Chordata · Mammalia · Carnivora · Ursidae
Ursus arctos
The brown bear of Katmai
The only entry here with a real designation. Gets enormous on purpose.
-
Animalia · Chordata · Aves · Anseriformes · Anatidae
Branta non credenda
The untrustworthy goose
Distinct from the basement goose only in that this one has not been caught.
-
Animalia · Chordata · Mammalia · Primates · Hominidae
Homo legens

Arrived by an unknown route. Reading a page about classification. Free to go.
Determinations are final and without appeal, unlike the obsessions.
