We’re back! In our stunning return, in which we clearly still know how to podcast good and do other stuff good too, we discuss The Summer of The Gulls, the silk road and the rodents therein, TetZooCon and The Dark Crystal.

Episode 73, some news about tyrannosaurs (YAWN) and then eggses and eggses and eggses. I hope you like eggs.

A very special episode, dedicated to everyone’s favourite living plesiosaur, Nessie.

NEWs from world of news: pterosaur 'feathers', Sobrarbesiren, scavenging snowshoe hares, and whatever happened to the Kabomani tapir?
