This episode led me to look up shit about Rhodesia and I learned it was founded by Cecil Rhodes, of the Rhodes Scholarship, and now I kinda wish they'd rename the Rhodes Scholarship.

Gonna point out latin name is only applicable to species and is kind of hard to gather for animals created in non-latin countries(or conquored countries)

Dogs are Cannis Lupus Familiaris

 

The Ridgeback is a name that many are rejecting because the ridges on the back, a reversal of the fur along the spine may indicate spinal bifida and keeping it as a breed standard borders on being cruel. Anyway the names in various languages in the area of Zimbabwe almost all vaguely translate to Lion Dog. For example Shumba imbwa is Shona.
