Oh come on, given a choice between a hedgehog and a viper!?
Yeah, OK, when you put it like that. This thread brings to mind the story of the naming of a little-known Australian snake. In one of his shore trips during Cook's 1770 expedition, Sir Joseph Banks noted a small snake unlike any that had been observed before. Turning to his colleague Dr Green he said, "Vincent, I'm going to name this one after you." And so he did.
The Vince Green Viper.
