>>54828886If I drew a bird like creature with a long neck that was flightless and had the tendency to stick it's head in the ground, I'd be incorrect to say that it most resembles a duck. It could've been my intention to make it appear like a duck and not an ostrich, maybe I'll give it a few swimming animations 20 years later and change it's 8-bit cry to a 'quack', but at certain point, what it is and what it was intended to be are different things. Especially if the creature becomes so popular that when a paleontogist that's an expert in ostriches names a new ostrich-ancestor fossil after it. Basically pic rel. Also Blastoise is a shellfish not a turtle.
