Dinosaurs were awesome. But no dinosaur ever got everything right.

Each episode, Lauren and Cassius pick one dinosaur speciality and dig into it. The fastest legs. The longest neck. The sharpest teeth.

They talk to the scientists who actually study this stuff – from the woman who found a dinosaur underneath a car park to the palaeontologist who builds them inside computers – and they make a cho... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dinosaur chicken nuggets with Jingmai O’Connor
Q: Is it true that you can tell whether or not a dinosaur could fly based on counting its feathers?
O'Connor says researchers compare the number of primary feathers with the nine to eleven found in flying birds, while noting that the evidence supports an assessment rather than certainty.
Dinosaur chicken nuggets with Jingmai O’Connor
Q: How far do we take that, though? Is the Robin in My Garden a dinosaur?
O'Connor says every living bird is a dinosaur, and argues that people should broaden their image of dinosaurs to include feathered forms.
Why you can’t hide from a T. rex, with Jared Voris
Q: If a T rex was looking for me, could I hide?
A T. rex could smell a person and follow a lingering scent trail, making it difficult to hide. Standing downwind could help, but there is no guaranteed way to escape.
Why you can’t hide from a T. rex, with Jared Voris
Q: So if a T rex were here right now, what could it smell that I couldn't?
Tyrannosaurs had large olfactory bulbs and could probably smell a wide range of things, including prey, carrion and other scents in their environment.
Life in a super greenhouse with Kirsty Edgar
Q: Otis asks whether a sea at 45 degrees could be swum in by a child during the dinosaur era.
The hosts explain that swimming in 45-degree seas would be unsafe for humans due to extreme heat and dangerous marine life, and provide a more realistic UK sea temperature range to give perspective.
