All animals have common names. These names may be different for the male, female, and young of a species. They may also be different for different groups of animals.

Common animal names are different from scientific names. Scientific names are unique to a specific animal and apply to the male, female, and young of the species. Common names are not unique to a specific animal and can change depending on the age or gender of an animal.
