This week on the SnakesCast, we are time-travelling back 65 million years to walk with the dinosaurs. Today, Monday June 5th 2017, we are sad to find that we time-travelled into the meteor strike that rendered the dinosaurs extinct and took our episode with it! The audio exists, but will take quite a while to restore, as it has been blasted into disordered 12-second fragments! When it is successfully restored, we will replace this episode with the real thing! However, please join us on Wednesday and Friday for business as usual, and our apologies for the missing link.
