This is very well done, like the rest of the #Dinosauria episodes. Great #animation, impeccable #paleontology—or history of paleontology, in this case—and a story about predator-prey conflict that doesn't end the way you expect. I recommend the entire series. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OH57rtnKCEM

The Crystal Palace #dinosaurs don't look like anything that's ever lived on Earth, but they do look like something that could have lived. In retrospect, they're a lot more believable than the upright tail-draggers that dominated #paleoart for most of the following century! So it's good to see them brought to life, even briefly. Somewhere in the #multiverse ...

This was really quite excellent, demonstrating how historical cultures may have interpreted the palaeontological record giving rise to the creation of monster myths.

Scientists just discovered a 209-million-year-old tiny winged #reptile that's completely changing what we thought we knew about the #evolution of flight. This fossil find pushes back the timeline for powered flight by millions of years.
