And I made this silly game. Name the beast, where you get a picture and try to guess (or know) the scientific name. https://name-the-beast.skabb.com

OK I absolutely love that!

I got 0/4 though on the easiest difficulty level. Feature request: a version where you have to guess the common name instead, I think that would still be fun.

Yeah, I should do some more here, also let you pick families, or at least some pre-selected ones like birds, animals, plants. But there is so much more you can do, like spotted around me, or where I am going on vacation.
Maybe add the etymology of the words as clues would help
