Annoy naturalists with these other animal names too: Jellyfish, crawfish, starfish, Killer Whale, Canadian Geese, and American Buffalo.

The buffalo thing pisses me off the most. Entire cultures are defined by that animal and it's incredibly significant to the history of the prairies and the continent as a whole. So it seems to me pretty disrespectful to go to these people and go "um actually what you've been calling this animal for centuries is wrong actually because Linnaeus or whatever"

Killer whale is orca which is a predatory whale.
