Episode 109 - Hyenas
Despite their unfortunate reputation, hyenas are really impressive. Modern and fossil, they’re a diverse group with a variety of dietary and social habits, and they are the quintessential example of bone-crushing specialists. In this episode, we discuss what makes hyenas unique and interesting, and we take a look at their surprisingly varied fossil history.
In the news: lamprey larvae, octopus diets, nesting dinosaurs, and tyrannosaur bites.
