Science in Sanskrit

 Cetecean Taxonomy Ignorance is calling an Orca a whale, knowledge is calling it a dolphin, but erudition is knowing that an Orca is a whale. A whale is a anything of the infraorder Ceteacea. Thus the Blue Whale, a Harbour Porpoise, the Sperm Whale and an Amazonian River Dolphin are whales! My favourite fun fact about whales is that they are of the order Artiodactyla ( युग्मङ्गुलिन् ), together with cows, pigs, deer, and hippopotamuses. We shall be translating the cetecean taxa into Sanskrit! The infraorder Cetecea is simply "whale" which in Sanskrit is  तिमि . There are two types of whales, Baleen Whales and Toothed Whales. The former is the parvorder Mysticeti  and the latter is Odontoceti . I shall name the Baleen Whales as "filter mouth whales" or  शोधन्यास्यतिमि  and the latter as "tooth whales" or  दन्ततिमि . There are four families in Mysticeti: Balaenidae, Neob alaenidae,  Balaenopteridae, Eschrichitiidae.  The first we shall look at is...

For this reason, a fitting name for dinosaur, as per my taxonomic naming system, is " अपनक्र​ " or " भीमापनक्र​ ", where " भीम " means "terrible". Then everytime we want to use the suffix "-saurus" like "stegosaurus", we use "- अपनक्र " as a suffix.   For the suffix "raptor", we will use " ग्राहिन् " for a raptor is anything that catches its prey by "grasping". We may use suffix " घोरापनक्र​ " or simply " घोर " for any ferocious dinosaur like T.Rex or Spinosaurus.     There are two main clades of dinosaurs, Saurisch...
