Often I see Jazz and the other jackrabbits refered to as rabbits and bunnies. However these names do not fit them. If properly refered to they would be called jackrabbits or hares.

Scientifically the term "hare" refers to both rabbits and jackrabbits. A jackrabbit is defined as:

"Any of several large, long-eared, long-legged hares of the genus Lepus, and giving birth to active, furred young."

A bunny is only in reference to a rabbit. A rabbit has short ears, short legs, and gives birth to non furred young... which are blind.. unlike jackrabbit young. Few people realise how large a jackrabbit is compared to a rabbit.

Similarly, the terms turtle and tortoise are misused. A turtle is a chelonian that lives in the water and has feet that are made for swimming. A tortoise is a chelonian that lives on land and has feet that are made for walking on land.
Therefore, Devan Shell and others should only be refered to as tortoises and not turtles.

I realise that even the developers of this game misused terms... but we can forgive them, right? :P
