Newly Discovered Dinosaur Species is Named After Ghostbusters Villain

Scientists from the Royal Ontario Museum have discovered a new species of dinosaur, and it looks oddly familiar to classic movie villain Zuul from Ghostbusters.

This new species of armoured dinosaur, or ankylosaur, has been named Zuul crurivastator. "Me and my co-author David Evans were batting around ideas for what to name it, and I just half-jokingly said, 'It looks like Zuul from Ghostbusters,'" said palaeontologist Victoria Arbour. "Once we put that out there we couldn't not name it that."

Aside from its fun name, the Zuul crurvivastator is a very interesting and rare discovery. Due to the fact that the armour is part of the dinosaur’s skin, it is very rare that the armour of this specimen is preserved in such good condition.
