Sure, bison roamed the plains here, but what about the school bus-sized sea lizards with angry eyebrows?

North Dakota high schools looking to replace outdated school nicknames are in luck. Thanks to science, the following mascots are now as representative of our state as bison, buffaloes, roughriders or vikings. 

How do these sound to you?

The Fighting Jǫrmungandrs?

The Walhallaensis Warriors?

The Mighty Mosasaurs?

Okay, maybe they need a little work. 

But the fact is any of those names would work after the American Natural History Museum recently released the name of a giant sea lizard "with angry eyebrows" who once swam here.
