beavers and capybara are classified fish by the Catholic Church
How about ducks?
no, but alligators and puffin.
my basic understanding is that people wrote intentionally advantageous descriptions of the animals when submitting them to the Vatican for approval or something. like they just stressed how much time the animal spends in water and not much else, and the pope wrote back saying "yeah that's okay"
Iirc the capybara thing was a special dispensation to help out indigenous tribes in south America
"God makes an exception for you and your group, specifically."
So they are ... God's chosen people?
