Word of the Day

faunaBeastly Word of the Day:It's difficult to overestimate the contribution to knowledge and language of the great Swedish taxonomist Linnæus, and we have him to thank as well for fauna — a noun used to describe the animal life of a particular region. Fauna was the sister or consort of the Roman god Faunus, whose dominion was forests, plains, and fields. Fauna came into its present use with the publication of Linnæus' 1746 work Fauna Suecica.
