Description: The remains of medium-sized predatory dinosaurs are pretty rare in places where giant predators like T. rex existed. Which is weird, because that’s just not how ecosystems work today. Thanks to Franz Anthony, Jack Mayer Wood, ABelov2014, Fabrizio De Rossi, Nathan E. Rogers, Emily Willoughby, Julio Lacerda, and Vladimir Rimbala for their wonderful paleoart featured in this episode.
