Cleanup[edit]

A few comments on how this page could be cleaned up:

I don't see why we need two pages, one for animals and another for plants, given that there are only 75 species in all - 75 is not a big number, and could easily fit on a single page.
Delinking the headings would make the page easier to read - the species names themselves would stand out more.
What is the reason for "Binomial and trinomial nomenclature should be used, no more"? I would find it helpful to have the common names of these species as well - provided the IUCN list of binominal names is used as the basis for the page, the ambiguous nature of common names would not be a problem.
