Good-boy
<p>I just found this <a href="http://sibagu.com/china/index.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Chinese bird name website</a>, which lists the Chinese name, pinyin, and literal English &quot;gloss&quot; (literal English meaning), like this for the <a href="http://sibagu.com/china/anatidae.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">&quot;Ducks&quot; section</a>:</p>
<pre><code>Dendrocygna javanica
Lesser Whistling Duck
栗树鸭
(栗樹鴨)
lì shù-yā
'chestnut tree-duck'
</code></pre>
<p>Where can I find similar resources for animal names, plant names, bug names, fish names, or more generically, organism/species names, etc. in Chinese, with the English literal meaning/gloss?</p>
<p>I am looking to see how Chinese literally denotes various species names but am having a hard time finding a decent and somewhat comprehensive resource like that Chinese bird name website.</p>

Database of organism names (plants, animals, bugs, fish, etc.) in Chinese with literal meaning?
# Database of organism names (plants, animals, bugs, fish, etc.) in Chinese with literal meaning?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2022-10-15)

I just found this [Chinese bird name website](http://sibagu.com/china/index.html), which lists the Chinese name, pinyin, and literal English "gloss" (literal English meaning), like this for the ["Ducks" section](http://sibagu.com/china/anatidae.html):

```
Dendrocygna javanica
Lesser Whistling Duck
栗树鸭
(栗樹鴨)
lì shù-yā
'chestnut tree-duck'

```

Where can I find similar resources for animal names, plant names, bug names, fish names, or more generically, organism/species names, etc. in Chinese, with the English literal meaning/gloss?

I am looking to see how Chinese literally denotes various species names but am having a hard time finding a decent and somewhat comprehensive resource like that Chinese bird name website.

If you know complex Chinese (Mandarin Chinese), you could click the links. They show Chinese bird names on the websites.
