Dinosaur KuZbasik will represent the region at the RUSSIA EXPO
Residents of the Kemerovo region have chosen a name for the dinosaur that will become a symbol of the region at the International RUSSIA EXPO.
The guests will be invited to the stand of the region by a dinosaur-like doll KuZbasik. The name of the Kemerovo region's symbol was chosen by the residents themselves through voting. The choice could be made on the platform "Kuzbass Online". One and a half thousand people gave their votes. The parrot lizard could be called Chebulashka or Takosha. But in the end, most of the voters supported the name KuZbasik: 600 votes were cast in its favor.
"I thank everyone who took part in the project, showed creativity and care. Kuzbass is the birthplace of dinosaurs. For many years scientists have been studying the Siberian Psittacosaurus discovered in Shestakovo", - said Sergey Tsivilyov, Governor of the Kemerovo Region.
By the way, plush toys in the form of KuZbasik will be raffled off among young visitors to the stand.
