Scientific names are exact. They tell us the genus and species that the animal or plant belongs to and only one scientific name is given to each species. Common names, on the other hand, are abundant with many species having two or more common names. Let's look at the cougar as an example. Its scientific name is Puma concolor. It's common names include cougar, Florida panther, panther, puma, catamount and mountain lion. A puma is neither a panther nor a lion. It is in a genus that it shares with the jaguarundi so you can see where confusion would come in.
Scientific names provide a standardized and universally accepted way to identify and classify organisms, whereas common names can vary between regions and languages, leading to confusion. Additionally, scientific names reflect the evolutionary relationships between organisms, helping with biological studies and research.
The common dolphin's scientific name is Delphinus delphis.
Scientific names are very specific. The common names of many animals are just that, common. One common name may be the widely accepted name for multiple animals or plants. Common names for plants and animals also vary with region.
