I added bobcat, then lynx, and it would not accept lynx because bobcat was there.
Oh, and, 77, just woke up. No coffee.

In general, of course, even distantly related animals may share a common name due to superficial similarities – what is "robin", for example? The American robin was named after the European robin by analogy, simply because both happen to have a red breast. The two species aren't even in the same family.
> I assume you mean “panther” in the general sense of any big cat.
Why on Earth would it assume mean that, of all things, rather than “black panther”? If it's gonna be pedantic about it, it could've complained about “leopard” and “jaguar” already being there (which they were) instead of complaining about an animal that nobody in their right mind would call a “panther”.
They can all have melanistic coats and are then often called black panthers. But that's not a species.
I personally just tend to avoid the word panther, because it very often causes confusion as to which cat you're talking about.
Also, things we normally don't consider animals - tapeworm, aphid, etc.
Also accepted blue whale, sperm whale and orca :-/
