Episode description

Ah, the T-Rex. King of the tyrant lizards. Ruler of children’s imaginations the world over. With its savagery and you-look-tasty-enough-to-eat smile…could we have domesticated it? Dr. Richard Kissel is here to help us figure it all out. He’s the VP of Education at The DoSeum in San Antonio, Texas, and a total T-Rex fanboy.

A few of the curiosities you’ll uncover in this episode:

  • The 3 questions to ask yourself before domesticating a T-Rex
  • How much it would cost to feed a T-Rex over its lifetime
  • What a T-Rex’s personality might have been like
  • Could we have made a teacup T-Rex? *fingers crossed*
