Weird Crap in Australia

Episode 097 - The Australian Dinosaurs


Listen Later

Australia is home to some of the most fascinating and unique dinosaur fossils in the world. From the towering Muttaburrasaurus to the fierce Qantassaurus, Australia's prehistoric creatures roamed a vastly different landscape millions of years ago. The country's diverse environments, from lush forests to arid deserts, created habitats for a variety of dinosaur species that continue to captivate paleontologists and history enthusiasts alike.

These creatures left behind clues that have helped scientists piece together what life was like during the Mesozoic Era in the Southern Hemisphere. Australia’s fossils are a testament to its once-vibrant and varied ecosystems.

Today, fossil sites like Winton in Queensland and Dinosaur Cove in Victoria continue to yield new discoveries, offering a glimpse into the ancient creatures that once roamed the land. Australia’s dinosaurs are a vital part of our prehistoric past and contribute significantly to our understanding of Earth's evolutionary history.

Join Holly and Matthew as they look into 7 of Australia's most interesting native dinosaurs (and marine reptiles). From the Great Inland Sea to the great land of Gondwana, come along for a ride back in time!
