Dinosaur of the day Dromaeosauroides, a theropod we only know from two teeth, and maybe some fossilized poop.

In dinosaur news this week:

A new megaraptor, Joaquinraptor casali, may have died in the middle of eating a crocodilian
Analyzing skull mechanics can tell us a lot about different theropod dinosaur feeding strategies
The alvarezsaur Bannykus ate meat (instead of maybe insects)
A poor sauropod got gnawed on by a theropod (probably)
The gut contents of a subadult Diamantinasaurus shows it was not a picky eater and it did not chew its food
A closer look at coprolites found in the Lameta Formation in India show they were likely pooped out by an omnivorous animal, and not a titanosaur (as previously thought)

0:08.9	Keep up with the latest dinosaur discoveries and science with us.
0:12.1	I'm Garrett.
0:12.7	And I'm Sabrina.
0:13.7	And today in our 552nd episode, we're talking about what did dinosaurs eat eat and how can gut contents, tooth marks, and

0:40.2	And we also have Dinosaur of the day, Dromaeusoroides, a theropod that we only know from two teeth and maybe some fossilized poop, some copper whites.
0:49.8	And our fun fact is that hypercarniferous crocodileforms probably ate dinosaurs.
0:56.2	So we got a food theme going on.
0:58.5	Hopefully we're not too hungry by the end of this.
1:00.8	I guess it depends on what they're eating, whether or not it's appetizing or not.
1:05.5	Crocodile bones don't sound like it, but maybe some of the other foods.
