About this listen

 Steve Brusatte returns to reveal the shocking truth behind his new book The Story of Birds – that the dinosaurs never actually went extinct. He explains how raptors like Velociraptor evolved feathers, how wings and flight may have started by accident, and why birds were the ONLY dinosaurs to survive the asteroid that wiped out T-Rex and the rest. He shares behind-the-scenes stories from working on the Jurassic Park films, what Hollywood gets right (and wrong) about dinosaurs, and the fossil discoveries that prove just how wild prehistoric life really was. He also gets into giant “terror birds” that hunted like apex predators, penguins the size of gorillas, massive flying birds with 20-foot wingspans, and the real reason birds became some of the smartest animals on Earth. Plus, how everything from a chicken’s foot to the pigeons on the street connects directly back to dinosaurs, and what that means for how these creatures evolved, adapted, and survived against impossible odds.
