I love stuff like this. Here are some real dinosaur/extinct creature names!
-
Sauroniops: Literally means Eye of Sauron
-
Dracorex Hogwartsia: Dragon King of Hogwarts
-
Thanos Simonattoi: after Thanos
-
Irritator Challengeri: he was hard to dig up and scientists were angry
-
Gasosaurus: discovered while a gas company was being built.
-
Gojirasaurus: self explanatory
-
Attenborosaurus: plesiosaurus named after David Attenborough.
-
Crichtonosaurus: similar to an ankylo and named after author of Jurassic Park
-
Bambiraptor sounds cute, and it's named after the deer (because it was deer sized), but it was a fierce and deadly creature.
There's so many more; I could nerd out forever. I miss when I was a little girl, and people would actually talk to me about dinosaurs...
No please keep going
I haven't heard of any of these and they are fantastic! Thank you for sharing.
Here’s hoping one of the scientists would be batshit crazy enough to name a new species Biggus Dickus.
I have a fwiend in Wome called Biggus Dickus.
SILENCE!
I feel excited because almost all of these are new to me.
I love learning these kinds of new things that I won't use daily and get bored, they'll stay bright and shiny in a corner of my brain.
Fortunately, "Dracorex Hogwartsia" turned out to just be a juvenile Pachycephalosaurus, not a new species.
Gojirasaurus: self explanatory
Have they exposed them to radiation in an attempt to resurrect them yet?
