Re: [dinosaur] Keresdrakon, new pterosaur from Cretaceous of Brazil (free pdf)

Ben, thank you quick and fine clarification.

As co-author of the paper, we intentionally used the plural and the
translation ought to be "the dragon of the Keres". As a funny fact, "Kero"
or "Ker" are homophones of "I want" or "you/he want(s)" in Brazilian
Portuguese (respectively)... and I am not sure if Brazilian people would
like this dragon for breakfast or dinner!

Cheers,
Borja
