We asked you to help us name Mamenchisaurus, the 60-foot-long female sauropod at the center of The World’s Largest Dinosaurs exhibition. She’s an 18-year-old vegetarian known for her incredible 30-foot-long neck who also happens to love tweeting. She is originally from China, and she just arrived at the Museum this April.
After hundreds of nickname submissions, the finalists are in:
- Brook (the first Mamenchisaurus fossil was found by a river in China)
- Neckita
- Mei Mei (mei means beauty in Chinese)
- Tiny
- Mame
Now it’s up to you! Visit the contest page to vote for your favorite nickname through Sunday, June 5, Before you vote, you can get to know Mamenchisaurus a little better by following her on Twitter @Giant_Dino or by visiting the exhibition site.
Her new name will be announced on June 7.
