Nystalus obamai (western striolated puffbird)President Obama has had 9 different species named after him in recognition of his focus on the environment and clean energy. He has more animals - which range from a trapdoor spider (Aptostichus barackobamai) to an extinct lizard (Obamadon gracillis) - named for him than any other POTUS in history, though Teddy Roosevelt’s 7 namesakes are a close second.
