There's something infinitely amusing about how long this pairing name is.
Also, this is some good shit right here.

While we're on the subject, how are you supposed to pronounce the "x" in a pairing name?

^Fair to assume, but then there was the game "Street Fighter X Tekken" which was pronounced
"Street fighter CROSS Tekken," and apparently gay male fanfiction is sometimes called "SLASH fiction." Where does the "x" come from anyway?

Here's the general idea:
Girl x girl = heaven
At least that's my impression of it.

Isn't an X generally treated like a non-pronouncable character, at least in Japan? Like with "Hunter X Hunter" or "XXXholic" which are actually read as "Hunter Hunter" or "holic" respectively.
So in this case Black-tailed Prairie Dog x North American Beaver would just be " Black-tailed Prairie Dog; North American Beaver" or maybe " Black-tailed Prairie Dog and North American Beaver" (treating it as a simplified ampersand) if you prefer.

a wild theory, isn't x a romantic symbol for kiss (chu)? in the pairing business wouldn't it read as Black-tailed Prairie Dog (chu) North American Beaver. at least i'm gonna read it that way since it's cute :3

In spanish the x is pronounced "por" because the x is the multiply symbol and it's called like that so I expected it to be pronounced like whatever the multiply symbol is pronounced in english xD
And well, that's not always true in japanese, because we have the example of Hayate x Blade which is read like Hayate cross blade.
