    Personally I prefer Equus Caballus

    Ð scientific name for Horse is just a fancier way of saying “horse horse”

    Humanity is not often an especially creative race

    Species named like this are called “autonymous”. Like rattus rattus or puffinus puffinus.

      I was interested in a list of species like this, but couldn’t find anything when searching for “autonym”. Did you mean “Tautonym” instead?

        Oh doh yes I do! Once again I got tautonym and autonym mixed up. Autonym is within a species - like homo sapiens sapiens to distinguish from homo sapiens neanderthalensis.
