GeoZoo Species Search

This search function works only for species’ scientific names and only when you type in a species’ “last name.” For example, typing in leo will yield the following results:

Antechinus leo (cinnamon antechinus; an Australian marsupial)
Panthera leo (lion)
Bathybates leo (an African freshwater fish)

About GeoZoo Species Search

Suppose you typed “Pediocetes phasianellus” into GeoZoo’s Falcon Search and got no results. If you know this name describes some type of grouse, and you’re pretty sure you spelled it correctly, you could come to this page and type in the last name (“phasianellus”) only.

You will get a list of every animal species in GeoZoo’s database with a scientific name ending in phasianella, along with some basic information to help you figure out its approximate identity...

Dromococcyx phasianellus
Tympanuchus phasianellus

Since you’re looking for a grouse, you would reject Deomococcyx phasianellus, as it’s a member of the cuckoo clan. You’re looking for Tympanuchus phasianellus, the sharp-tailed grouse. (Incidentally, its former scientific names were Pediocaetes phasianellus and Pediocetes phasianellus. See The History of North American Bird Names in the American Ornithologists’ Union Checklists 1886 - 2000.)“” ’
