In Africa there is a custom of giving the discoverer's name to any new kind or class of animal that is killed.

For instance, the name "granti" is applied to the gazelle first discovered by the explorer Grant.

"Thompsoni" is applied to the gazelle discovered by Thompson.

"Cokei" is the name given the hartebeest discovered by Coke, and so on.
