Episode description

(image source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludodactylus by FunkMonk)

Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Lawrence Mack discuss Ludodactylus, a pterosaur that’s been accidentally depicted in toys of Pteranodon for decades due to having the crest of Pteranodon as well as teeth which Pteranodon lacked. From the Early Cretaceous, this 20-foot-wingspan anhanguerid proves that nature can sometimes be just as interesting as human imagination. I wonder if we’ll find out those DIno Rider toys are also accidentally accurate. That’d be cool.
