Episode Details

In this episode of pplpod, we sink our teeth into the ultimate dinosaur icon: the Tyrannosaurus rex. Join us as we explore the paleontology behind the "Tyrant Lizard King," from its reign in Laramidia during the Late Cretaceous to its massive impact on pop culture.

We dig into the biggest debates in the field: Was T. rex a fearsome apex predator or an opportunistic scavenger? Did they hunt in packs? And what do famous fossils like Sue and Stan reveal about their brutal lives? plus, we break down the latest science on dinosaur biology, including the mystery of Nanotyrannus, the truth about those tiny arms, and whether this massive theropod was actually covered in feathers.
