It is my pleasure to welcome you all to September’s Paleo Rewind, a series hosted by EDGE Science where Paleo content creators share some of the coolest paleo-news of the year! How do scientists know the size of ancient giants like Megalodon and Dunkleosteus? Which dinosaurs were good parents? How did massive pterosaurs like Quetzalcoatlus stay afloat? What were titanosaur tails used for? Also, is that a Tyrannosaur from Mexico? Get answers to these questions and MORE in this episode of Paleo Rewind! And as always, Keep your pencils sharp!
