Whimsical Wavelengths - A Science Podcast di Volcanologist & Geophysicist: Jeffrey Mark Zurek, PhD, PGeo | Science Communicator
Note sull'episodio
Tyrannosaur bite forces and the "Jurassic Park generation" kick off a massive 2-part interview with Dr. François Therrien, Curator of Dinosaur Palaeoecology at the Royal Tyrrell Museum. We separate Hollywood fiction from fossil fact, exploring why the 1993 classic changed the public's perception of dinosaurs from cold-blooded lizards to dynamic, warm-blooded predators.
Dr. Therrien breaks down the complex taxonomy of the Tyrannosauridae family, explaining how Gorgosaurus and Albertosaurus lived, hunted, and were preserved in the Badlands of Alberta.
