"Troll the ancient yuletide carol," as the song goes.Back to trolling I see.
OTOH, "What kind of triggerfish went viral recently?", "What kind of vertebrate has fins and scales?" or "What kind of big cat has spots?". No genus involved.Genus, of course. "kind" in this context is its meaning of "type" as in "what kind of fish is that with the big lips and incisors"?

We are looking for working definitions. How do you tell if two different populations of different genus or the same genus? Creationist definitions fail in the real world.A genus is a "type" or "kind", nevertheless. So foo on yoo.
