Separate species?

The article refers to both Haggis scotticus and Haggis scoticus. Presumably these are the long-left and long-right variants, but which is which?

You'll have to first catch and then ask them - preferably before cooking! I think the Latin adjectival form is "scottus" or "scotius", but I'm not sure. Roger (talk) 18:45, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

I think it's a spelling error on the part of whoever edited the article. Booger-mike (talk) 14:23, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

The best source in the article, King et al., says scoticus, and I've gone with that. (The Kelvingrove citation under the pic doesn't give any scientific name.)

I've also found some, though fewer, mentions of Haggis scottii. However, I've been unable to locate a formal description under either name, nor indeed the identity of a taxonomic authority, and so cannot settle the question of priority. Further research into the literature is needed. Narky Blert (talk) 12:49, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

Haggis is rodent type mammal that has both fur and feathers and is not a fictional creature !!!

Haggis you eat is something completely different(sheep stomach) from the small rodent — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2C0F:F4C0:20B3:D4E0:452A:F964:F529:70ED (talk) 19:40, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
