"We are talking about two very physically different 'species' here."

This guy is an administrator, and no longer calls himself a biologist...I hope.

He's using "species" differently than is commonly understood.

Give you an example ~ salmon come in a half a dozen species that cannot interbreed. On the other hand there's a federal law regarding "endangered species" so it was determined that the salmon in each crick were a different species.

That created thousands of new "endangered species" giving enormous workloads to under-employed and under-compensated environmental attorneys.

I can only imagine this fellow believes he will get his own lawyers for free to defend each new species of extinct Mammoths he can identify.
