Hello, welcome to the Fun Kids Science Weekly. My name's Dan and this is the show that does exactly what the title says.

We discover all the most amazing wanderists and often just plain weird things that are out there in the universe.

Today we are learning about the dinosaur that's more dangerous than the T-Rex. We'll find out why everybody is always telling you you need to drink more water.

And in a sec, we will talk to a professor in Canada about why he's studying

a dead whale's heart. First we're travelling to the past, way back in the past to find out which

dinosaurs are better, herbivores or carnivores. Travel back in time to the age of the dinosaur

at the Natural History Museum. Imagine going back in time to the age of the dinosaur. At the Natural History Museum.

Imagine going back in time, not 100 years, or 1,000 years, but millions of years.

To the age of the dinosaur.

The Jurassic period was home to thousands of different dinosaurs, big and small.

One easy way to learn about them is to split them into two groups,

the meat eaters or carnivores and the plant eaters or herbivores.

Of course, some dinosaurs are both. Look out.

Here comes a well-known carnivore, the meglosaurus.

He's getting very close and he's enormous.

Meglosaurus was a terrifying predator that was almost nine metres long. That's twice as high as a double deck of bus. He had powerful jaws and

sharp teeth perfect from ripping through his prey's thick skins and swallowing huge chunks of flesh.

His teeth were serrated.

That means zigzag shaped along the edge, like a saw and could slice through flesh easily.

Standing on his hind legs, with short forearms and a huge head, he looked quite like Tyrannosaurus.

Although since T-Rex wasn't to appear for many millions of years, they would never have met.
