The naturalist Carl Linnaeus was the first person to use the term “fauna” as a biological term to refer to animals of a particular region or time or both. While fauna is a generic term used to address a list of species of animals from a specific region, it can also be used to address a prehistoric group of animals. Broadly, Fauna is viewed as the base of systematic groups.
