If you took, like, a Komodo dragon tail and attached it to the back of an ostrich, that's kind of what Fona would have looked like… It was about seven feet long, so probably would have been as long as Shaq would have been if he was laying down.
He said paleontologists know little about small, plant-eating dinosaurs like Fona. Which is why she's so important to figuring out how underground dinosaurs lived, ate, and socialized.
Fona is named after Avrahami's mother's birthplace: Guam. The name Fona comes from our ancestral creation mythology, which is about a brother and a sister spirit… she dies herself and becomes fossilized, and from her petrified body springs forth the Chamorro people.
