Explanation
The binomial nomenclature system of naming organisms using a two-part Latinized (or scientific) name was devised by the Swedish botanist Linnaeus (Carl Linne); it is also known as the Linnaean system. The first part is the generic name, the second is the specific name. The zoological name of the tiger is Panthera tigris. So, Tigris is the species name of Tiger.
