Today's news comes via the Dinosaur Mailing List!

Are you aware that Iceland has its own names for dinosaurs?! I was not aware! Apparently, "There are a whole bunch named after gods and goddesses (Apatosaurus/Þórseðla, Maiasaura/Freyjueðla)". A (short) blog entry about it is here.

According to the rest of the thread on the DML, the Chinese and the Swedes also translate the Latin/Greek names into their native tongue.
