What is fauna?
In Greek mythology, the god Pan is the representative god of the wild, as he is the goat-legged offspring of a wood nymph and a more powerful god. Roman mythology adopted this persona as a god by the name of Fauna. In 1745, naturalist Carl Linnaeus was the first to use the word with his formal work on the animals of Sweden Fauna Suecica. The term means any animal life in a given region and/or time period.
