The scientific name of the American Alligator is Alligator mississippiensis, but our friend Mater from Cars is clearly hearing something else entirely. The poor tow truck thinks the alligator "misses his penis" which is... not exactly what taxonomy is about. Classic case of scientific terminology causing unintentional double entendres! Evolution spent 200 million years perfecting these magnificent reptiles only for humans to name them something that sounds hilariously inappropriate when said quickly. Taxonomy: creating awkward moments in biology class since Linnaeus decided Latin was the way to go.
