Natural History Museum wants help naming dino

NEW YORK

The museum is holding a contest to name the centerpiece of its new exhibit "The World's Largest Dinosaurs."

The dinosaur's scientific name, Mamenchisaurushochuanensi, is a mouthful.

So the curators are asking people to vote for five finalists on the museum's website.

The finalists are:

  • Brook
  • Neckita
  • Mei Mei
  • Tiny
  • Mame

    The massive dinosaurs featured in the exhibit lived 140 million years ago.

    To vote for your favorite name, visit AMNH.org
