To me, it’s not quite the same.

There’s no point renaming a rabbit because it is “invisible” anyway. A Tas.Tiger, though, needs to be renamed if your fantasy world is not Australia. I have been pondering this myself, and I think I am going to do just that sort of thing in a future series.

Is calling a tasmanian tiger a… wolfcat, say, at all the same thing as ‘calling a rabbit a smerp’?

Something I’ve been pondering.
