The "Etymology" section makes no sense

[edit]

The "Etymology" section says "Scientists have not properly categorized this animal yet." That's not etymology. That's taxonomy. "Etymology" would be something LIKE (i.e., if it's true, and I don't know if it is because I came here for the specific purpose of finding out WHY this animal has the name that it has) "The animal is so named because it's native to Irian Jaya" OR "The animal's name originates from the widely-held false belief that it is native to Irian Jaya". Furthermore, there IS a "taxonomy" section that describes this SPECIES whereas "taxonomy" would be a description of where the species sits on the cladistic tree or whatever you call it.2600:1700:6759:B000:1C64:8308:33BC:E2D6 (talk) 22:31, 11 March 2023 (UTC)Christopher Lawrence Simpson[reply]
