Considering these creatures are addressed by their genus names more often than not, what would be some interesting names for prehistoric lifeforms?
>>
Cunnilingusaurus Fagilis
>>
>>2270185
>Brontotherium: Spatula rhino
>Calicotherium: Gorilla horse
>Macrauchenia: Trunkllope
>Indricotere (kinda counts since they changed the genus)
>Megatherium: Giant Southamerican sloth
>Ambulocetus: HAES supporter
>Phosruacos: Killer nandu
>Andrewsarchus: Andrew's hooved wolf
>Glyptodon (not in pic): Dinodillo
>Doedicurus: Spike-tailed dinodillo

The rest have already common names or are fine as they are, imo.

Saw this in a thread on another site

Tyrannosaurus, i.e. “tyrant lizard”. Native to central North America. One language spoken in its range is Lakota. In Lakota, “lizard” is agleska and “leader” is otancan. A new name for Tyrannosaurus could then be otancagleska.
Triceratops, i.e. “three horn face”. Native to central North America. One language spoken in its range is Shoshone. In Shoshone, “three” is pite, “horn” is a’a, and “face” is go’bi. A new name for Triceratops could then be pita’ago’bi.
Velociraptor, i.e. “swift thief”. Native to Mongolia. One language spoken in its range is Mongolian. In Mongolian, “swift” is adam and “thief” is xulatai. A new name for Velociraptor could then be xulatadam.
Kentrosaurus, i.e. “sharp-pointed lizard”. Native to East Africa. In the Masaai culture, a boma is a thorny fortification and a spirit that takes on the form of a lizard is the kinyonga. A new name for Kentrosaurus could then be kinbomga.
Mamenchisaurus, i.e. “horse gate lizard”. Native to China. One language spoken in its range is Zhuang. In Zhuang, “horse” is max, “gate” is yan, and “lizard” is xan. A new name for Mamenchisaurus could then be maxyanxan.
Olorotitan, i.e. “giant swan”. Native to Russia. One language spoken in its range is Russian. In Russian, “giant” is bol’shoy and “swan” is lebed’. A new name for Olorotitan could then be lebolshoyed.
Ceratosaurus, i.e. “horned lizard”. Native to eastern North America and western Europe. One language spoken in its range is Portuguese. In Portuguese, “horn” is chifre and “lizard” is lagarto’. A new name for Centrosaurus could then be chifragarto.

Coming up with dino names that don't sound daft is tricky.
What would a veliciraptor be? A bird-dog? A quick thief?
You'd have to come up with all new words that somehow sound right.

>>2271026
Cockatrice or Basilisk
