Seagle


Did you know …

That “seagull” is short for “sea eagle”? It’s true!

It’s a little confusing, though, because “Stellar’s Sea Eagle” is a completely different species than any variety of seagull.

Hey, also, who is Stellar? She must have also named “Stellar’s Sea Cow,” the now-extinct big ol’ manatee thing. That’s worth looking up, probably.

Other things Stellar may have named:
Stellar’s Sea Beagle
Stellar’s Sea Weevil
Stellar’s Sea Cheadle
Stellar’s Sea Smeagol
Stellar’s Sea Beanpole

And so forth.
