...a cross between a slender hippo and a long-legged pig...

And they intended to HONOR Mick Jagger by naming this thing after him?

Okay.

If they say so.

Researchers uncovered the fossils—consisting of multiple jawbone fragments—

So I guess the jawbones were Shattered?

It disturbs me a bit that a once Respectable science like paleontology has lowered itself to naming prehistoric fossils after pop-culture fossils...

If they wanted to name a prehistoric creature after Jagger, they could have waited until they found a Monkey Man.

And paleontologists speculate the creature had a voice somewhat like Keith’s.
