🐔Common Pheasant

Phasianus colchicus Linnaeus, 1758

De fazant (Phasianus colchicus) is een vogel uit de familie van de fazantachtigen (Phasianidae). De geslachtsnaam is ontleend aan het Latijnse phasianus, van de stad Phasis, het huidige Poti. De soortaanduiding colchicus is Latijn voor "van Colchis" (tegenwoordig in Georgië), een land bij de Zwarte Zee waar Europeanen voor het eerst fazanten leerden kennen en waarvan deze exoot werd ingevoerd.
