Summary
Zofia led several expeditions to Mongolia where her team discovered hundreds of mammals and dinosaurs including Deinocheirus and the Fighting Dinosaurs (a velociraptor and Protoceratops who appear to have fossilized in the middle of a fight to the death).
For links to every news story, all of the details we shared about Deinocheirus (revisited), and our fun fact check out https://iknowdino.com/Deinocheirus (revisited)-Episode-527/

Dinosaur of the day Deinocheirus (revisited), a dinosaur that was once considered fearsome, but now more goofy. It's a unique herbivorous theropod with enormous arms and claws.
Two great books written by Zofia:
- In Pursuit of Early Mammals
- Hunting for dinosaurs
