RALEIGH, N.C., Sept. 10 (UPI) -- More than a half-century after Mick Jagger first took the stage with the Rolling Stones, the demonstrative frontman has finally reached the rock 'n' roll pinnacle -- he's had an extinct swamp-dwelling critter named in his honor.
The creature, Jaggermeryx naida, is described by researchers as a cross between a slender hippo and a long-legged pig. Jaggermeryx naida lived some 19 million years ago, and though its likely the strange pig-hippo never had moves like Mick Jagger, the creature did have lips like him.
