Etymology
The species name is derived from Dhahran, the type locality.[3]
gollark: If it helps at all, I have one hatching in 12 hours.
gollark: I prefer blue.
gollark: I too am impatient but don't have enough reds to incubate everything anyway.
gollark: Not *very*, but you'd probably need to do stuff significantly slower if you couldn't incubate it and it had to go to ER times.
gollark: Er, slightly annoying, at least.
