<< Flavus is Latin for yellow. refers to yellowish tint of many specimens. >>
And a very apt expression it is; that was the characteristic that made it
stand out for me when I caught sight of and captured my first stonecat (in
broad daylight!) I was like, "Now what fish around here could be yellow like
that?" I was quite surprised when I caught it to find a fish that looked like
that in my area, especially one which had that much of a yellow coloration. A
definite plus.
