Location: Titusville, Chain of Lakes ParkI am known as an Anhinga
Anhinga anhinga is my scientific name
I'll repeat it over and over
I'm just like Puddin' n Tain
(Sometimes when a living thing is identified, if it is the first species in its genus, then it will be assigned the same genus and species name, hence the Anhinga's scientific name is Anhinga anhinga.)
