Peloroplites: Beast of the Week
Péloroplites : la bête de la semaine
 Cette semaine, nous allons découvrir un grand dinosaure tank.  Entrez Peloroplites cedrimontanus ! Le Peloroplites était un dinosaure herbivore qui vivait dans ce qui est aujourd'hui l'Utah, aux États-Unis, pendant la période du Crétacé, il y a entre 98 et 93 millions d'années.  Du museau à la queue, il mesurait environ 6 m de long.  Son nom de genre se traduit par « Hoplite géant » en référence aux hoplites, les anciens soldats grecs qui portaient des lances et de grands boucliers.  Le nom de l'espèce se traduit par « Cedar Mountain ».
