Kay, what would the scientific name be? Because I like how you came up with Homo contemplativus, I'd like to see a human fossil in a thinker pose with that name.

Oh, dude, sorry to disappoint, but I didn't come up with Homo contemplativus, I found it on a list of alternate binomials for humans once. I don't know who created it, but I found it nice, that's why I used it.

But if I had to come up with a binomen for the walrus-platypus it would probably be something like Pagothalassa sapiens. I think that would mean "sapients from the sea of ice", 'cause that's how I imagine their planet.
