There is an animal, that for many years that was known in Englias as as "X"

Its Linnean name was '"X"-"X"'

What is the name?
What family of animals does it belong to?
Where is it found?

Ok, getting ready for a Klaxon here, as I know they aren't Herbivores, but:
Aren't Rats Rattus Rattus in Latin...

They are Mammals
They CAN be found in the Jungle..

But they're Rodents, so no it can't be them... Its not an Ape, so doesn't that rule out Gorillas? On the other hand I'm pretty sure there is a species of Gorilla with a Latin name Gorilla Gorilla Gorilla...
