Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Scientific Advisor for Netflix’s The Dinosaurs

Q: What was it like to be a scientific advisor for a Netflix show like The Dinosaurs?

Joschua Knuppe describes his involvement as largely advisory and credited, with his input focusing on life restoration and early interactions with the production team; he notes the extensive collaboration and the intention to improve accuracy while recognizing the constraints of large-scale production.

Dinosaur Growth!

Q: How did sauropod diets change as they grew, and how might that have supported their rapid growth to giant sizes?

Juvenile sauropods likely fed on lower, more abundant plant matter and gradually incorporated a wider range of plants as they grew, aided by a large gut and faster digestion to meet growing energy needs; adults could access higher or more diverse plant resources as their necks and guts expanded, supporting continued growth.

The Dinosaur with the Widest Wingspan Ever

Q: Can you tell us about the Six Extinctions exhibit and what visitors can expect?

The exhibit covers all major mass extinctions through Earth history, including current human-driven extinction, with fossils, casts, murals, and a focus on how biodiversity changed over time, including birds, mollusks, and dinosaurs.

A new species of Spinosaurus and Ogden's Dinosaur Park

Q: What can visitors expect when they go there and what sort of dinosaurs can they see?

Jeff Bond describes a park with eight acres, hundreds of outdoor and indoor exhibits, numerous animatronic dinosaurs, a working paleontology lab, and ongoing expansion to host in-house sculpture fabrication and seasonal changes that align with evolving science.

Paleontologist Interviews: Steve Brusatte on How Birds Survived the Dinosaur Extinction

Q: What inspired you to write The Story of Birds and focus on birds after non-avian dinosaurs and mammals?

Brusatte explains that the narrative of birds as living dinosaurs emerged naturally from his study of their ancestry, with modern birds evolving from dinosaur lineages and adapting through mass extinctions and ecological shifts, which made writing about birds a logical continuation of his broader dinosaur-focused work.
