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."

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.

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.

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!

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.
