SciShow: 5 Dinosaur Dinners and What They Told Us

Teacher or professor: SciShow
Subject: Science
Content of the Lesson: "When it comes to extinct creatures like dinosaurs, it can be tough to know for sure what they actually ate. And we’d like to know because what an animal eats tells you a lot about it. But every now and then, the fossil record gives us a gift: a fossilized meal that tells us exactly what that dino had for dinner. Here are five dinosaur dinners and what they tell us about how these animals lived." Hosted by: Hank Green SciShow has a spinoff podcast! It's called SciShow Tangents.
