Kangaroo scientific name
On this page it states that the scientific name of the Red kangaroo is Megaleia rufa, whereas on its actual page it gives it as Macropus rufus. Old taxonomy needing to be updated?

Corculum Carelissa vs. Corculum cardissa
The offical source cites the scientific name of the heart shaped conch the right (or „sinister“) kangaroo ist holding as „Corculum Carelissa“, which is a nonexistent taxon and maybe a OCR error („el“ vs. „d“). Judging by common name „True Heart Cockle“ and image, the correct specific name would be „cardissa“; see here:[1]
I added a [sic] and the above ref note to the block quote to reference this but it still looks a bit awkward to me. Someone got a better idea how to do this?
