Afrovenator, the African Hunter

Paleo Bites

(image source: https://dinopedia.fandom.com/wiki/Afrovenator)

Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Matt David Seivert discuss Afrovenator, a dinosaur that got its title of African Hunter stolen by Carcharodontosaurus, then Dinofelis, then lions, then poachers, then lions again because evil never wins. From the Mid Jurassic, this 25-foot megalosaurid prowled the heart of the continents just as they were splitting up, a messy breakup story if there ever was one. Don’t worry, they’re projected to get back together roughly two hundred million years from now, as although evil never wins, love always does.
