Actually, the basic point of the thread was to ask Melody about the Poad. And through this, I simply used griffins to bring the subject, because of similarities they apparently both shared. It was just some sort of a game. π³ I just felt surprized to be replied relatively categorically that fantasy “classification” was due to “number of limbs at first”, and I felt like if I’ve been told that my way of having fun was “proven” completely wrong. π₯ See what I mean? π No hard feelings…
Naw, no hard feelings there at all. I just go into ‘hardcore’ mode when talking about taxonomy because of the reams of taxonomy I had to read, edit, re-edit, and prosess as a part of my wildlife biology education. I had four classes dedicated to taxonomy *alone* and if I go for my master’s, I will be guaranteed more taxonomy. I’ve got odocoileus coming out of my hemionus from all the taxonomy!
