Three artist were show and were matched with an animal named after them....Animal / reptile/ amphibian/ not telling you the creatures involved dead give away................have a guess and will tell you later

Sting was one of them

do not need name just what type of creature from above.....I do not want to say to much.... given it away...... I got it right!!!!

Have a go and love to hear the answers...

I know what species it is, but let the suspense works awhile. Can I just say it is from South America?

A fish was named after John Lennon some years ago. If I understand why this ??? was named after Sting, because of the things he did (and is still doing), I'm a bit surprised that more and more animals are named after artists... This "tradition" was reserved to scientists or people who largely helped science, but giving a scientific name beause of an actor or a singer makes me a bit circumspect... But after all, maybe it'll give more interest in biology? Who knows?

Haha
I won't say which animal it is, but I can say its scientifical mane : "Dendropsophus Stingi" :wink:
