Tyrannosaurs with Dr David Hone

June 13, 2020 • Ashley Coates • Season 1 • Episode 5

An interview with Dr David Hone, author of The Tyrannosaur Chronicles (Bloomsbury, 2016), available on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/2EYl8oA.

Dr David Hone is a Senior Lecturer and Director of Biological Sciences Programmes at Queen Mary, University of London. He is a palaeontologist, writer and science communicator who specialises in the behaviour and ecology of the dinosaurs and pterosaurs. He has named over 15 species of prehistoric animal.

In this episode, we discuss the tyrannosaurs, a family of (sometimes very large) predatory dinosaurs who lived on Earth for over 100 million years.

Davis is also the host of his own - really excellent - podcast - Terrible Lizards, which I briefly mention in the introduction. Download and subscribe! https://terriblelizards.libsyn.com/
