Title: Different Species of Pleo's????
Post by: Burberry016 on June 28, 2009, 06:45:43 PM: Are there four different species of pleos? For example, whenever I google image search "pleo" it show one pleo that looks like this- http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.robotliving.com/wp-content/uploads/pleo.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.robotliving.com/2009/06/09/is-pleo-back/&usg=__w-a9vFoE1I-eTN-f1ph-NTkYZwU=&h=619&w=800&sz=48&hl=en&start=1&tbnid=Fj2TUg9D6FNjfM:&tbnh=111&tbnw=143&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dpleo.%26gbv%3D2%26hl%3Den , one like this- http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://sharkride.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2006/02/ugobe_pleo.jpg&imgrefurl=http://sharkride.com/blog/%3Fp%3D51&usg=__hokoyju6IcvowJHZ7RrvnTXT4eM=&h=336&w=425&sz=24&hl=en&start=17&tbnid=RZ-wtFfZNxmU6M:&tbnh=100&tbnw=126&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dpleo.%26gbv%3D2%26hl%3Den , the one I have that looks like this- http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.totsnob.com/images2008/pleo-delayed.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.totsnob.com/2008/12/pleo_robotic_baby_dinosaur-_cr.html&usg=__XL2_o0_A_8_T92OPyr_NogfUAps=&h=329&w=468&sz=23&hl=en&start=8&tbnid=tPKhexy1HnQWSM:&tbnh=90&tbnw=128&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dpleo.%26gbv%3D2%26hl%3Den , and this one- http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/pleo-4.jpg&imgrefurl=http://science.howstuffworks.com/pleo4.htm&usg=__v7gX8xhN4mth33vzJ8wfBfwRRzM=&h=309&w=400&sz=28&hl=en&start=56&tbnid=12_LFekfgY916M:&tbnh=96&tbnw=124&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dpleo.%26gbv%3D2%26ndsp%3D20%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26start%3D40 .

If there really is such thing, then could someone tell me? I personally think that UGOBE was still thinking about how Pleo was suppose to look, but then the media let the secret out for each model. Is this true? If it is, then could someone tell me the order of which is first, second, third, and fourth?

Camarasaurus means "Chambered lizard." It's because of the way the skull is set, and the hollow bumps most likely used either to make specific sounds or help keep the nostrils dry.
No, I did not go to wikipedia to get this info, I only checked wiki to make sure it was true. I also found that on wiki, it mentioned Pleo under the "popular culture" section for the Camarasaurus article!
c. supremus (meaning: The biggest chamber lizard)
c. grandis (meaning: grand chambered lizard)
c. lentus (meaning: ?)
c. lewisi (meaing: perhaps "Lewis' chambered lizard")

Doesn't mean we can't have fun with it. ;)
