Update:

Over the years, Apple has been inspired by nature when they "baptized" the MAC OS X operating systems.
At the launch of the first version of OS X, in the public beta version, Apple used the name "Kodiak"For the operating system.
OS X Kodiak It is very little known to Mac X users today, this system has been the pioneering of Apple operating systems. OS X Kodiak was launched in September 2000 and the name Kodiak belongs to a slabatice regions of Alaska, but also of a grizzly bear species who lives in those lands.
Starting from Mac OS X 10.0 and up to 10.8, Apple used a feline name for each version of the system.

Mac OS X 10.0 Cheetah (March 24, 2001, launch date) - Cheetah.
Mac OS X 10.1 - Puma (September 25, 2001)
Mac OS X 10.2 - Jaguar (24 august 2002)
Mac OS X 10.3 – Panther (June 23, 2003)
Mac OS X 10.4 - Tiger (April 29, 2005)
Mac OS X 10.5 - Leopard (October 26, 2007)
Mac OS X 10.6 – Snow Leopard (28 august 2009)
Mac OS X 10.7 - Lion (July 20, 2011)
Mac OS X 10.8Mountain Lion (July 25, 2012)

Starting with 2013, for OS X 10.9, Apple let the felines rest and chose the name "Mavericks", for this version of bone.
Mavericks, is the name of a surfing location in northern California. Mavericks is famous and known by surfers From all over the world, which year after year, every winter I come here for a little adrenaline. Or more ... if we take into account that the waves that form in winter in Mavericks are among the largest and most violent in the world.

They are known to you, right?

In October 2004, Apple "flew" from the ocean to the mountain. Yosemite National Park, from North America, would give the name of the version 10.10 A Mac OS X and offer some spectacular background images.

Yosemite National Park stretches about 308 thousand hectares, having a very varied relief and an impressive biosphere. It hosts many species of animals and plants, some of them being unique in the world or on the way. Although it is visited annually by over 3.7 million people, the management and surveillance system of the park, ensures the protected of this ecosystem, in which it is found and El Capitan.
El Captain, not only represent the name of the version 10.11 and OS x, but also the name of a rocks very famous of Yosemite National Park.

The slope of the captain, is visited year by year, by Professional mountaineers from all over the world. The degree of difficulty being very high, the climbing of the rock El Captain can take even more than four days.
Even these days, National Geographic presented a series of interesting documentaries from Yosemite National Park, in which El Captain is presented.
If Apple had been a company in Romania, the probability of having OS X Babele, OS X Sphinx and OS X Bucegi would have been very high.
Nothing would be impossible, if we take the rumors recently on the Internet, according to which the future name of OS X will be: Fuji. Mount Fuji being a volcanic mountain, located on an island on the central part of the Japanese archipelago.
