The Ursosaurus has been jokingly labeled "Grumpasaurus" by many scientists who have remarked upon Ursosaurus' diverse eating habits, namely stemming from evidence that Urso had a tendency to eat his dino neighbors.  There is not one meat that Urso has not tasted, and he was quoted as saying that the most lamentable thing about his life was "the fact that I (he) never got my hands on a dodo egg."  Truly sad, indeed!  

Aside from his culinary quirks, Urso was also nicknamed "Grumpy" for his terrifying roar-this is one dino that had no problem expressing his disdain.  It is believed that Urso could be heard from what would now be the span/distance of Colorado!   

Many believe that these two features are derived from the odd genetic meeting of both bear-like and dino genes....thus earning him the name "Ursosaurus."  As shown above, the body of the Urso exhibits the long neck, and body build of an Ultrasaurus yet is covered by light/dark fur that strongly resembles a bear's.  The Urso also had an embrassing tendency to poo when engaged in attack, as observed in a bear fight in the critically acclaimed documentary, "Grizzly Man."  

Ursosaurus also enjoyed the following: classical music, scrapbooking, lazy weekends, and using innocent cavemen/women as impromptu back scratching tools.
