0:00.0	This is the meat eater podcast coming at you shirtless severely bugbed bitten in my case underwear list.
0:16.0	We can't predict anything.
0:24.0	Alright, the first order of business is I need to do a correction.
0:27.0	We were talking there day for a long time, long long time on this same program about ursus arctose, okay, or the brown bear.
0:37.0	And I was talking about all kinds of stuff I don't know the truth about.
0:43.0	And a Dr. Jarko wrote in to clarify something to me.
0:48.0	Like I was saying how I don't know where I got this in my head that ursus the old name for grizzlies was ursus heroeblis, like horrible bear.
0:59.0	But this guy called in and clarified that in fact it's that's like an example of trienomial nomenclature where it's ursus arctose heroeblis.
1:11.0	Ursus arctose heroeblis was an is a name for interior brown bears.

2:04.0	I was talking about binomial nomenclature which is like the lenaean system where you have for instance ursus arctose which be like northern bear.
2:11.0	He was saying that the second word in that so if you like homo sapiens.
2:17.0	I used the second word like it was like genus and species but he said the second part of the epithet.
2:28.0	So in homo sapiens the second part of the epithet is just called that's just the species.
2:37.0	It's not fair to say that the second part is the species because the two things make up the thing.
2:42.0	You guys go with seaker syka because I hear both ways.
