Matt and Nick talk about the Spinosaurus: a dinosaur with penguin-like bones. National Geographic’s Michael Greshko reports that this is a sign of underwater hunting. The Spinosaurus and its cousin, the Baryonyx, are the only known dinosaurs other than birds with this adaptation.
So what did we learn about the Spinosaurus? What does this discovery mean for the species? And what else have we learned about dinosaurs recently?
The guys dive into this before discussing some dinosaur fun facts, their favorite dinosaurs, their favorite dinosaur movies, and some dinosaur theories.
