    The dinosaur Megapnosaurus. There are two reasons I like this dinosaur so much.
    1. A paleontologist discoveries it and named it Syntarsus, years later a couple of entomologists realized that Syntarsus the name of a beetle. They renamed it to Megapnosaurus without asking the discoverer of the dinosaur. The reason they did not ask him was because they thought he was dead.
    2. Megapnosaurus means “Big Dead Lizard”

    There Is Also The Satanic Nightjar (Eurostopodus diabolicus) Which Apparently Sounds Like It Is Plucking Someone’s Eye Out.
