Picture

The picture on this article is a bit confusing. It doesn't seem the best, it sort of looks like a cat to me. Perhaps someone could upload a clearer picture — Preceding unsigned comment added by Phaldo (talk • contribs) 13:58, 28 December 2005

In what way does it look like a cat? User:Dinolover45, 27 April, 2010, 4:41 PM

Name of specie??

I´m a little confused here. I understood that the name of the specie was "Maiasaurus", ending on -US, rather then -A. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:2012:236:3300:3D63:5056:A68C:C15F (talk) 19:55, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

"Good mother reptile"?

Maiasaura is generally translated as 'good mother reptile'. But Ancient Greek μαία (maia) does not mean 'good mother' but 'midwife' and 'wet nurse'. I'm wondering whether the translation 'good mother reptile' is an error, or does it feel more "romantic" to say so instead of 'wet nurse reptile'. Neander (talk) 18:08, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
