(image source: https://www.deviantart.com/atrox1/art/Rapetosaurus-211286542) Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Ben O'Regan discuss Rapetosaurus, a longneck big enough to technically be impressive but not so large as to blow your mind into chunks or anything. From the Late Cretaceous, this 50-foot titanosaur was the largest dinosaur currently known from Madagascar, which is pretty neat I'd say. There should be bigger ones, though. I mean, I know it's a small island continent, but c'mon, evolution! Try harder! Want to further support the show? Sign up to our Patreon for exclusive bonus content at Patreon.com/MatthewDonald.
