A Pleasant Meeting

There's no accounting for common names.

When the Badgerling was a toddler, we were reading a wildlife book, and I showed her a picture of Marmota flaviventris. "That's a rock chuck," I said. "Mom calls it a marmot. You can call it whatever you like."

My sweet girl looked at the picture thoughtfully before saying, "I call it Julie."
I call my Julidochromis transcriptus “Julies” lol.
