Dinosaur of the day Wannanosaurus, a pachycephalosaur that is smaller than Micropachycephalosaurus, although the holotype may be a juvenile.
Interview with Maz Maddox, a fellow dinosaur enthusiast and author of the RELIC series, about humans who can shape shift into dinosaurs.
In dinosaur news this week:
- Dinosaurs learned an advanced social skill called visual perspective taking at least 60 million years before mammals
- Another group of researchers found sexual dimorphism in dinosaurs, but this time they used more than just size or ornamentation.
