Separate species?
[edit]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)
