Dinosaurs never needed a dentist with Emma Nicholls (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nigersaurus grew around 500 teeth and replaced the whole lot roughly every two weeks. It never brushed them, never had to be careful with them and never once saw a dentist, because there was always another tooth coming up behind. The word for that is polyphyodont, and it is this week’s word. Humans get two goes. Milk teeth, then the set we are stuck with. Sharks, crocodiles and most dinosaurs are on a conveyor belt instead, and that changes what a tooth can be. If breaking one costs you nothing,
Dinosaurs with necks full of air with Mike Taylor (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The longest neck any animal has ever grown belonged to Mamenchisaurus, and the neck on its own was more than 15 metres, longer than a school bus before you even get to the rest of the dinosaur. Which raises the obvious question: how do you hold something like that up? The answer is that mostly you don’t have to, because sauropod neck bones were never solid. They were full of air. That is this week’s word. Pneumatic bone is built like a honeycomb, riddled with air spaces a millimetre or two acros
The dinosaurs that ran faster than Usain Bolt with John Hutchinson (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dinosaurs ruled for 160 million years, and the thing that made them a runaway success was where their legs went. Not out to the side like a crocodile, but straight down underneath them, a stance that costs less energy and frees the arms up for other work. So how fast could they actually go? Footprints in Inner Mongolia, laid down 120 million years ago, put a medium-sized meat eater at around 45 kilometres an hour, quicker than Usain Bolt at his peak, and trackways in La Rioja in Spain clock ther
This is Dino Quest (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Legs that could outrun the fastest human alive. A neck longer than a double-decker bus. A tail people were once sure could crack like a whip. Every week Lauren and Cassius dig up one brand new, completely true fact about dinosaurs, and use it to add one piece to a dinosaur they are building themselves, one bone at a time. They call up real scientists, get into discoveries that are barely out of the ground, and answer the questions listeners send in. Along the way: why the pigeon on your windowsi
