Determining the physical appearance of dinosaurs based solely on fossilized skeletal remains is a complex challenge for researchers. In the latest episode of The Conversation’s Curious Kids podcast, host Eloise Stevens and paleobiologist Neil Gostling address this topic, explaining how experts deduce details ranging from dinosaur movement and musculature to skin coloration.
The discussion, prompted by a question from a young listener, highlights the investigative processes paleobiologists use to breathe life into ancient creatures. This episode marks the conclusion of the podcast's second season, which features various experts answering questions submitted by children globally.
The series is supported by the University of Southampton. Listeners can access the full second season and previous episodes through major podcast platforms or the Yoto interactive audio player. Children interested in submitting their own questions for future consideration may contact the production team via email.
