Does the name "Seton", of Seton Academy, have any particular meaning,
particularly referring to wild animals? I tried looking up whether it was the
name of a famous zoologist, or biologist, or taxonomist, or something similar,
and came up blank.

It's likely named after a wildlife illustrator/writer and naturalist named
[Ernest Thompson Seton](https://www.britannica.com/biography/Ernest-Thompson-
Seton). His animal stories works such as, _Wildlife I Know_ , _Biography of
the Gray Bear_ , and _The Life of Hunted Things_ are collectively referred to
as "[Seton Animal
Stories](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%B7%E3%83%BC%E3%83%88%E3%83%B3%E5%8B%95%E7%89%A9%E8%A8%98)"
in Japan.
