New Fish Species Named for Presidents: Five new species of small, freshwater fish have been named for U.S. presidents, according to Sci-News.com.
Obama, Gore, Roosevelt, Carter, Clinton
Etheostoma obama (Pictured)
The darters were named by the Saint Louis University’s Department of Biology and Dr. Steven Layman of Geosyntec Consultants.
Their namesakes will surely be proud: President Barack Obama is the Spangleddarter, (Etheostoma obama);
Teddy Roosevelt, the Highland darter (Etheostoma teddyroosevelt); Jimmy Carter, the Bluegrass darter (Etheostoma jimmycarter); Bill Clinton, the Beaded darter (Etheostoma clinton); and Al Gore, the Cumberland darter (Etheostoma gore).
