My Utopia kingdom decided to go with a dinosaur theme this age. I am Lady Stinkasaurus, ruler of Gasosaurus. Hahaha. Anyway, I found some really bizarre dinosaur names. Here are the Top 5:
- ERECTOPUS - Despite its dirty-sounding name, Erectopus was a meat-eating dinosaur with long hands and short claws. It was actually named after the latin words for "upright foot." Remember that when you next get an upright foot.
- ELVISAURUS - a large theropod dinosaur, with a bizarre crest on its head that looked like a Spanish comb. Due to the resemblance of this feature to Elvis Presley's pompadour haircut from the 1950s, this dinosaur was at one point informally known as "Elvisaurus".
- GASOSAURUS - The scientific name, meaning "Gas Lizard", honours the gasoline company that found the Dashanpu fossil quarry in Sichuan Province.
- RAPETOSAURUS - "mischievous giant lizard"
- DRACOREX HOGWARTSIA - The name Dracorex hogwartsia was inspired by young visitors to the Children's Museum of Indianapolis as a tribute to both dragons (Dracorex means "dragon king"), which the animal resembled, as well as the Harry Potter series of books by J.K. Rowling (hogwartsia for the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the fictional school from the popular series).
What do you guys think? Cool or not?
P/S I chose Gasosaurus because it describes me PERFECTLY. It can't be denied that I am always gassy :P

i chose ERECTOPUS..lol~ (gelak jap)
lol...Are you sure those names are real? I'm shocked. I thought there was a pattern to all this dinosaur name-giving. There must be a "real" reason for ERECTOPUS!. For an upright hind limb, it sounds a little too flashy.
I am SURE these are real dinosaur names. If you don't believe me, GOOGLE :P heheheh.
i found another 1..BLODYNnyssaurus..sucks blood and grabs other dinos' butts..found near gombak,malaysia..
Whaaaa???? Huhuhu. Who are you, along?
