| 0:17.0 | Music now. Hello and welcome to I know Dino. I'm Garrett. And I'm Sabrina. And today we're |
| 0:36.5 | going to talk about dreadnoughtus as well as some news. |
| 0:40.1 | So first up in the news, out of Tucson, Arizona at the Globe X Gem and Mineral Show, |
| 0:48.3 | there was a recent arrest by Homeland Security Investigations, a division of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, |
| 0:57.0 | who arrested a vendor who was selling fossils that were illegally taken out of China. |
| 1:04.9 | They estimate that the fossil that he's being charged specifically for is valued at about $15,000 and he may have |
| 1:13.2 | already sold a hadrosaur dinosaur egg for about $450. That's one of the more common dinosaur eggs |

| 2:15.9 | So according to the story, she watched the first Jurassic Park |
| 2:20.7 | movie, and in particular the scene where the two children are in the kitchen and there are, |
| 2:25.2 | quote-unquote, velociraptors chasing them around. She imagines that all the time, so she's |
| 2:31.9 | constantly like running to her car and won't go out at night |
| 2:35.3 | because she's afraid dinosaurs are going to attack her. And she has two young children. So it's making |
| 2:40.8 | her life pretty miserable. She said she's tried to deal with it by going to one of those |
