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

The dinosaurs had around 160 million years on Earth, so there was never just one dinosaur climate. There were deserts, volcanoes and jungles, and there were forests at the North and South Poles, because for most of that time there was no permanent ic... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dinosaurs never needed a dentist with Emma Nicholls
Q: Did dinosaurs ever get toothache?
Yes, they could lose teeth or have them damaged, but unlike humans they often grew new ones, so loss didn't end their ability to eat; tooth replacement helped them cope with wear or injury.
The dinosaurs that ran faster than Usain Bolt with John Hutchinson
Q: Could a T‑Rex actually sprint like in the movies?
No, the expert explains that an adult T‑Rex would require an unreal amount of leg muscle to sprint and would likely fail under the forces involved, making a full sprint unlikely; a brisk walk or jog is more plausible.
The dinosaurs that ran faster than Usain Bolt with John Hutchinson
Q: How do you estimate speed from footprints?
By measuring the distance between successive footprints and estimating leg length, then applying biomechanical principles and comparisons to living animals to infer velocity.
Dinosaurs with necks full of air with Mike Taylor
Q: Why are some names like 'Whale Lizard' confusing or misleading?
Early researchers misidentified some sauropods as whales due to the sheer size of the bones before complete skeletons were known, leading to historical names that stuck for a long time.
Dinosaurs with necks full of air with Mike Taylor
Q: How long could sauropod necks be and how do we know?
Necks could reach up to around 17 meters in some giants, and we estimate from a few nearly complete necks and many partial specimens by scaling with complete bones, acknowledging some uncertainty.
