A golden age of palaeontology

Recent discoveries about dinosaurs mean we know a lot more about them than we used to

We all grew up learning about the dinosaurs but recent discoveries mean we know a lot more about them than we used to. This is being called a 'golden age of palaeontology' with new information on what the prehistoric creatures looked like - as well as their intelligence and agility - being added to the sum of our knowledge. It's all brought together in a new book "The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs" by Dr Steve Brusatte. Our science editor Tom Feilden went to speak to him at the National Museum of Scotland.
