Is this species named after Sir David Attenborough? If so, it should be noted. Parmesan 18:52, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes. See original description here. Ucucha 19:13, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes, and note that the article already mentions it. - UtherSRG (talk) 19:22, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name

I have seen it referred to as "Attenborough's Long-beaked Echidna", rather than "Sir David's Long-beaked Echidna". Which is correct? 90.192.7.72 13:49, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

We follow Mammal Species of the World (3rd ed 2005) for common names. - UtherSRG (talk) 13:58, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
