Answer and Explanation:
A scientific name is universal. It's usually in Latin, with two parts: the genus and the species.
Scientists come up with scientific names so that it is clear what specific animal they're discussing. In different parts of the world, common names of animals may vary. For example, groundhog, whistlepig, red monk, and woodchuck all refer to the same animal! If Scientist A is talking about groundhogs, Scientist B who comes from an area in the world that refers to groundhogs as woodchucks would be very confused.
Thus, scientific names are used to eliminate these confusions.
