    The Bipedal Crocodile

    The Saber-Toothed Tiger?

    It took just a few minutes of research to realize what was so wrong about calling them a tiger! In this episode we talk about the smilodon, what you wouldn't expect about those saber teeth, and take a stand (or did we?) about what we consider "prehistoric."

    The Non-Dinosaur

    This week we welcome another 5-year-old to the podcast and talk about the often mislabelled Dimetrodon and try to figure out what that big sail does. We also meet Leif's cat Luna and talk about how good Chicken in an Biskit crackers are. Spoiler: SO GOOD.

    The Hippo Pig

    What do you do when you only find a tiny portion of a fossilized animal? How do scientists make new discoveries without any new fossils? We had fun talking about the discovery of the Andrewsarchus skull and the various transformations that it has undergone in the 100 years since. Plus, we added a new podcaster this week! Enjoy.

    The Dunk

    August was so excited to talk about his favorite prehistoric fish, & our podcast logo, the Dunkleosteus. The "Dunk of the Sea" was at the top of the food chain in the age preceding the dinosaurs. Leave answers to the listener questions in the comments, or tell us what bones you'd like to discover & what you'd name them!

    The Sea Scorpion

    Caution: Jaekelopterus lives here! What would you do if you found out an 8 foot sea scorpion with claws the size of a 5-year-old's arms lived in the lake at your cabin? Would you run? Feed it pretzels? Try and ride it?  Learn all about the largest arthropod to ever live...the Jaekelopterus. "Whorl Tooth Sharks of Idaho" courtesy of Ray Troll & The Ratfish Wranglers.

    The Giant Dragonfly

    We were thrilled to be joined by two new kids this week to discuss the Meganeuropsis, a giant dragonfly from the Permian Age. What allowed bugs to grow so big back then? Find out on this episode of the Prehistoric Podcast. As always, "Whorl Tooth Sharks of Idaho" courtesy of Ray Troll & The Ratfish Wranglers.

    The Saw-Tooth Shark

    While our first ever Prehistoric Podcast had to be recorded via videochat, we still had a wonderful discussion about the Helicoprion, a shark-like fish that none of us had ever heard of. We are excited to bring you more episodes about prehistoric life and we hope you will return for more. "Whorl Tooth Sharks of Idaho" courtesy of Ray Troll, Russell Wodehouse & The Ratfish Wranglers.
