What is our fascination with dinosaurs? Is it their frequent media depictions?  A surreal feeling of disbelief that they could have existed? A kind of thrill imagining such dangerous animals can’t hurt us? Being from a different Earth, could they even survive in our modern climate? Were dinosaurs warm blooded and covered in feathers, or cold blooded and naked like reptiles? Were pterosaurs dinosaurs or birds? Why are there so many fossils in Asia, and how has that continent contributed to our cultural understanding of dinosaurs?

Dinos mentioned in this episode:  Psittacosaur, Repenomamus.
