Dragons of the Air
Harry Seeley
0
This podcast explores the world of pterosaurs, the flying reptiles that lived alongside dinosaurs. It is based on Harry G. Seeley's classic book 'Dragons of the Air', which examines their anatomy, classification, and evolution. Seeley was a pioneering paleontologist who divided dinosaurs into lizard-hipped and bird-hipped groups. The podcast presents his theories on pterosaurs being warm-blooded active flyers rather than cold-blooded gliders. Listeners will learn about the relationship between pterosaurs and modern birds.
