The other new series I’m introducing for this account: Oft-confused Animal Names

These will be very short form infographs (hopefully only one slide long unless I get carried away… as usual) explaining the differences between two species whose names tend to get misused. They are mainly based on misunderstandings in communication that I’ve personally come across, and I hope the visual reference will help clear things up for others!
