Show notes

We're time traveling this week to get to know one of the most famous wild critters to have *ever* roamed the Earth! We're going back 70 million years to meet the infamous T. rex, the apex predator with an astoundingly powerful bite, huge teeth, ginormous legs, and ... surprisingly small arms?

We're joined by an amazing paleontologist, perfect to teach us all about the T. rex and age of dinosaurs! Dr. Roger Benson, Macaulay Curator, Division of Paleontology at the American Museum of Natural History!
