He couldn't remember what it was called so he described it in other terms. He called it the "Shearwater mosquitoI thought they had named it the T-rex or the Tyrannosaur ... or something to that effect. I also couldn't remember the name even though I had been reading extensively about it just after its release.
Guys.... If you're going to name a product then for God's sake don't drink large amounts of alcohol while you're trying to decide on a name!

Rob, you guys were so close. T-Rex was probably an awesome
Predator but a Pterosaur is a winged dinosaur.
You probably know all these but I'll post it anyhow for those readers that don't know about it.
Shearwaters are long-winged seabirds. They are most common in temperate and cold waters and are pelagic when outside their breeding season. They fly very close to the water, seemingly cutting or "shearing" the tips of waves to move across wave fronts with minimum effort. Their primary feeding technique is diving, with some species diving to depths of 70 m (230 ft). They are
Pursuit Predators chasing their food while diving. Shearwaters are part of the family Procellariidae, which also includes several
Petrels.
A
Perdix is not a sea bird, but a genus of birds known collectively as 'true partridges'.
This symbol represents a Shearwater's wing. The one that shears the tips of the waves as it effortlessly flies way off shore in search of its next dive. Something that relates to a wing or resembles a wing is
Pteric. But the "P" in the word is silent.
