I assume the nickname "Schnappi" most likely comes from the name ofÂ the children's cartoon character, Schnappi, the Little Crocodile [Schnappi, das kleine Krokodil].

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schnappi,_das_kleine_Krokodil

In the music video, Schappi is trying to catch a fly (Ascendonanus ate insects presumably)...Â

Oops. I read 'tetrapod' as 'theropod'. It's just as hilarious a name for a lizard as a dinosaur.
