"Much too difficult" for the same children that would learn tens of dinosaurs' scientific names?

I appreciate the choice made over X-ray fish, Xantops, and Xerus.

Going hard, and I wonder what other letters have.

I suppose all those children speaking both Hungarian and Latin will have no problem with the Latin name of this creature named after a Hungarian biologist

Hahaha those damn latin hungarian bilingual children have it easy xd. Jk aside, latin names are easier for people speaking spanish, greek, italians, or portuguese. Many times we can tell what something is by only its latin name.
