Jurassic Park SeriesEdit

Richard Attenborough played the character of John Hammond in the 1993 film Jurassic Park and its 1997 sequel, The Lost World: Jurassic Park.

Because this film had popularised dinosaurs the surnames of its main actors were used to make the species name of the Tianchisaurus genus. The species name has become nedegoapeferima, in which the part a (after nedego) is the first letter of Attenborough.
