This week I decided to continue making Paleo catalog basics videos with an animal I’ve wanted to talk about for a while. When it was identified in 2017, the motives behind the naming of the Dicynodont Bulbasaurus. Especially when the type species was announced as B. phylloxyron, a name that literally translates to “Leaf Razor”
Despite all this seeming to point to this animal being named after a Pokemon, the scientists originally denied any connection between the real creature and the adorable grass type starter. However when the same scientists were quoted saying "similarities between this species and certain other squat, tusked quadrupeds may not be entirely coincidental. If one wished to read between the lines concerning certain similarities, I wouldn't stop them" I think it’s safe to assume that there was at least some inspiration from the biggest franchise in the world.
As a paleo nerd who also enjoys Pokemon, I figured that this would be a prefect addition to the Paleo Catalog Basics series! If you can think of any other animals from Earth’s past that we have very limited remains of, and you think it would make a good video in this series, leave a comment and let me know what you wanna see!
