About this listen

After millions of years as the underdog amongst much bigger, meaner animals, the end-Triassic mass extinction event gave the dinosaurs their chance to flourish... and boy did they grow big!

Ben meets some of the biggest animals to ever walk the earth, finds out how we know how big they got, and how and why they reached such huge sizes.

Professor Ben Garrod is an outstanding host on this trek back in time to learn about how dinosaurs attained the titanic size. The episode lays out the debate over which dinosaur is the biggest before explaining how these animals got so big. What is most enjoyable (besides Professor Garrod’s likability) is the explanation of the scientific process scientists use to understand extinct animals.
