Hello and welcome to Mysteries of Science. My name's Stevie and I'm the deputy editor of Science and Nature, the monthly magazine from the team behind the week junior.

And I'm Michael, the junior editor. On this podcast, we take a look at our favourite mysteries of science. These are the strange phenomena and bizarre events and have left scientists scratching their heads and despite their best efforts remain well and truly unsolved. This episode is being released on the 10th of June

2022, which is a big day for dinosaur fans. Why is that, Stevie? Well, the release of the latest

Jurassic Park movie, of course. Well, not Jurassic Park, Jurassic World Dominion.

Of course, I love those films.

Everything I know about dinosaurs comes from Jurassic Park and Jurassic World.

Well, Michael, I hate to break it to you, but as great as those movies are, they aren't

always scientifically accurate.

What if I told you that T-Rex might actually have had feathers?

Or that some dinosaurs behave more like modern-day

birds than the fearsome monsters shown on the screen.

Well, I'd be pretty surprised to hear that, but pretty interested too.

I mean, how do we know all of this?

How can scientists know what dinosaurs look like or how they behaved, considering they all

went extinct 66 million years ago?

Well, let's go fossil hunting with some dino experts to find out.

It's time for a podcast 66 million years in the making.

This is Mysteries of Science.

So, Stevie, how do we know what dinosaurs look like?

Well, as you said, Michael, they went extinct 66 million years ago,

but that doesn't mean that they disappeared without a trace.

Remains of dinosaurs can be found preserved in stone all around the world.
