New Dinosaur Species

IBTimes is reporting:
A new dinosaur species was unearthed in northern Alaska and it apparently thrived in the brisk, polar landscape. The groundbreaking discovery of the duck-billed dino, dubbed Ugrunaaluk kuukpikensis, has marked a turning point for paleontologists who have focused on warmer climates.
.... the creature in Alaska’s Prince Creek Formation, which means it thrived in an area that was considered relatively cold, for dinosaurs at least.
The new creature looked very similar to Edmontosaurus, another duck-billed dino often found in Montana and Alberta, Canada. But with an ample amount of bones, researchers were able to find enough small differences to make them suspect these were a new species.
Researchers suggest that Ugrunaaluk kuukpikensis, which means “ancient grazer” in the language used by native Alaskan Inupiat Eskimos, grew up to 30 feet long from nose to tail and had hundreds of teeth to chew through tough vegetation in the polar forest that covered northern Alaska about 70 million years ago.
Why can't they name these things something middle school kids -- besides Inupiats -- can pronounce?
