EXPLORE THE SCIENCE
Fossils, films, and field notes — the real science, up close
Everything here is built to be watched, listened to, and pored over together. Real specimens with museum-style labels, short films worth pausing on, and notes written for curious families.
WATCH & WONDER
The science, in motion
Short, accurate films to watch together: the kind of questions that start a dinner-table conversation. Nothing autoplays; tap to watch.

LISTEN
Field notes you can hear
Press play to have each note read aloud — handy for a young explorer who'd rather listen than read. The full text is always on screen.
In 2014, a team re-described Spinosaurus aegyptiacus from new skeletal material in Morocco. The short hind limbs, dense bones, and paddle-like tail told a story nobody expected: this was a dinosaur built to swim. It changed how we picture predators of the Cretaceous rivers.
You can read a diet from a single tooth. Cone-shaped and smooth means gripping slippery fish. Blade-like with serrations means slicing flesh. When we find both kinds in the same rock layer, we know two very different hunters once shared the same river.
