I was recently saying that I bet there's a dinosaur named after every cast member of Jurassic Park (off the top of my head I only knew there was a Crichtonosaurus). Just to make sure I looked it up and turns out I was correct in the worst possible way. There is a single dinosaur that's named after the whole cast. Tianchisaurus nedegoapeferima.

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
