Diplodocuses

/dɪˈplɒdəkəsɪz/ noun

Definition

The plural of diplodocus; multiple individual dinosaurs of the Diplodocus genus.

Etymology

From 'diplodocus' + '-es' (English plural ending), used instead of the scientific '-i' to create a more common English plural form that general audiences use more frequently.

Kelly Says

When paleontologists discover multiple Diplodocus skeletons together, it suggests these long-necked giants might have lived in herds, completely changing our understanding of their social behavior.
