Massospondylus

These eggs are around 200 million years old.

They come from a dinosaur called Massospondylus, a relative of the long-necked Diplodocus.

The eggs look kind of unremarkable on the outside, but dig a little deeper, and you can see something truly incredible preserved within them.

And you can see there's a complete dinosaur curled up, just like a chicken would be in its egg today.

We've got Vulcanodon.

And Massospondylus, both from the earliest Jurassic in Southern Africa, so still doing a good job with their ecosystems, putting animals that have actually been found together, together.

Mm-hmm.

In this case, they're looking for food, and Vulcanodon wins 'cause it's bigger.

I thought it was a pretty good sound, pretty realistic for what kind of hollows it might have had in those crests.

Mm-hmm.

And they talk about the methane greenhousing, or maybe I should say the methane climate forcing, where temperatures are rising, and they show a Massospondylus panic running in a forest fire, which is very dramatic compared to just the competition that probably did them in-

Mm
