Dinosaur Science: Whose Bum Did T. rex Bite?!

Explore the science behind the world of the dinosaurs in this fantastically funny first introduction to palaeontology!

Travel back to the Mesozoic era and discover what dinosaurs ate and how fossils have informed palaeontologists on this topic. From teeth marks left on the bones of prey to the contents of fossilised poo and stomachs, dinosaurs have left behind many clues about what and how they liked to eat.

For budding palaeontologists aged 5 and up, this series will explore all things dinosaur: from fossil finds and coprolites (that's poo) to exploring the mind-boggling stats of these mega-reptiles. But let's not forget the science too, as we'll be learning about dinosaur biology, motion, evolution, classification, among other things along the way.

Humorous illustrations and speech bubbles will take this exciting topic to the next level!
