So we finally know what that hadrosaur from Prince Creek is. To me, having a huge interest in polar dinosaurs, this is a very important discovery for me. (It's not Edmontosaurus!!!) I love the name!

Wonderful  ^-^.
[Off Nick and Eddie's reactions to the dinosaurs] Oh yeah "Ooh, aah", that's how it always starts. But then there's running and screaming.



{about the T-Rex) When he sees us with his kid isn't he gonna be like "you"!?

I love the name they chose! ;D

Also, here is the paper and a skull reconstruction:

The Inuit language lends itself well to prehistoric beasts. Think Titaalik and Nanuqsaurus. :)

Which I also want toys of.

There already is one! It's the hadrosaur formerly known as "polar Edmontosaurus" in WWD etc. Get it now, along with "Gorgon" the Nanuqsaurus and "definitely not really Troodon".

Alaska has a very distinct fauna, so assigning all these dinosaurs the same names as their older southern relatives was a pretty big mistake. They will all have new species names eventually.

Just added it to my list of potential animals for the Animasaurus Collection. That name alone was enough for me to add it.
