* '''Bulbasaurus phylloxyron''', a species of dicynodonts (precursors to early mammals) discovered in January 2017. Although officially named after the bulbous shape of its nose, the scientist who named the species made several reference to Pokémon on twitter while presenting the species. In addition, phylloxyron literally means "Razor Leaf".
