I'm strong. And a giant penguin. Please don't eat me. No, really. Don't try.

scary ghost dog posted:

maybe its named after stephen maturin from the aubrey/maturin novels as portrayed by paul bettany in the film master and commander of the far side of the world
edit: i clicked on the article and it says the scientists named it after king’s turtle, but they could be lying. we cant completely rule out my theory

King named his turtle after the good doctor iirc so you're still right with a degree of separation
