Zofia studies mostly mammals and she didn't has much to do with the naming of tarbosaurus and Zofiabaatar (this guy was named after her, not by her), although she did help discover Gallimimus and Deinocheirus.
Zofia however was responsible to name over 50 genera of mammals and most of them have baatar on it name (on the top of my head there's nemegtbaatar and Kamptobaatar).
Alternativally there's still a lot of animals with 'baatar' on it's name, alongside the others here mentioned there's also albinykus.
What a coincidence that all of them lived in what is modern day mongolia seems pretty sus to me
Recent genetic research shows that around 10% of dinosaurs at the end of the mesozoic could trace their heritage to Genghis Khan.
I love this
the real cause of the end of the dinosaurs
guess it was a sedimentary site at the time ...
You clearly has never heard about Zofia Jaworowska and the "Baatar" animal, haven't ya?
I've heard of Tarbosaurus Baatar and Zofiabaatar. Oh and Kielanodon?

Wait until you discover how many species have that specific name "niloticus."
Pleistocene Mammals all being named “spelaeus/spelaea”
And what about the whole "place where the fossil was discovered" - saurus?
'cmon! We want badass names whose meaning is like "lord of lizard-eaters" or "tyrant lizard king"!
If I ever have the privilege to name a new species I'll happily call it Mega Dino destroyer regardles of what animal it's gonna be.
A friend of mine described a little river shrimp thingy and named it after his place of birth and his favourite beer
Yet here i wait for at least another dinosaur/prehistoric animal to have polonesis in their name, or anything related to poland

Ik about him, my goat is named after creature from legend but we still don't know wth it was
Wait until you hear about tenerensis
Ain't that Suchomimus?
And Afromimus
I can't wait to find Genghisosaurus Mongoliensis
Reminds me that a good chunk of prehistoric species names from Thailand contain Siam.
At least it's not C. elegans. All 908 of them.
There are so many extant species with the species name elegans. It's kinda annoying
Paleontologists when they discover a sauropd dinosaur in the African country of Niger ahh moment.
