This week we have a two-ghost rating for our episode about dinosaur mummies! It's a little spooky because we talk about mummies, but it's mostly an episode about dinosaurs, which are not spooky. Further reading: The lost Tarbosaurus mummy Dinosaur Mummy Found with Fossilized Skin and Soft Tissues Dakota the Dinomummy: Millenniums in the Making Spectacularly Detailed Armored Dinosaur "Mummy" Makes Its Debut Was a Dinosaur Mummy Dubbed 'Appalachiosaurus' Found in Tennessee? An Edmontosaurus mummy found in 1908: A 3D model of Dakota's skin [photo from third link above]: The Nodosaurid ankylosaur mummy: Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. It's monster month and this week we've got a monster from ancient times—really ancient times. We're talking about mummies today, DINOSAUR mummies! On our spooky scale, this one rates two ghosts out of five since we do talk about mummies, but it's not too spooky because we mostly talk about dinosaurs! A dinosaur named Tarbosaurus lived around 70 million years ago in what is now Mongolia. It was probably closely related to Tyrannosaurus rex and would have looked very similar, with a big strong body but teeny-tiny front legs. Its front legs were even smaller than T. rex's in relation to its body. It grew up to about 33 feet long, or 10 meters, and probably stood about 10 feet high at the hip, or 3 meters, and its big head had a big mouth full of really big teeth. It probably killed and ate hadrosaurs, sauropods, and other big dinosaurs. Some scientists think it was so closely related to T. rex that it should be classified as another species in the genus Tyrannosaurus. We have quite a few Tarbosaurus fossils, including some very well-preserved skulls, so we know quite a bit about it. It had a good sense of smell and good hearing, but its vision wasn't all that great. Some paleontologists think it might have been nocturnal. We've also found lots of bones of big dinosaurs with bite marks from teeth the size and shape of Tarbosaurus's. In 1991, though, a team of scientists found something even more incredible. They found a partial skeleton of a Tarbosaurus with lots of skin impressions. In short, they'd sort of found a mummified dinosaur. (It's not really a mummy.) The mummy consisted of the back end of the dinosaur, including the pelvis, tail, and hind legs. It had fallen onto sandy sediment that was especially fine-grained, so when the sediment transformed into sandstone over many millennia, it retained an exceptionally clear impression of the skin, including every small pebbly scale. The expedition members took pictures and measurements, but they didn't collect the specimen. Another expedition returned to the area to do so in 1993, but by then the specimen was gone. It was probably stolen by fossil poachers, who probably didn't even realize the skin impressions were far more valuable than the bones and may have destroyed them while removing the skeleton. The lost Tarbosaurus specimen is called a fossilized mummy since a dead animal's skeleton with skin is sort of like a mummy. When the soft tissues of a dead animal or person are preserved in some way that causes them to stop decaying, that's considered a mummy, and there are a lot of causes. The most famous mummies, of course, are from ancient Egypt. It was important in Egyptian culture at the time to preserve a dead person's body, and dead animals were also mummified sometimes, especially cats. The body was treated with salt and spices that helped dry the tissues and preserve them from bacteria, and once it was fully dehydrated the body was wrapped in linen bandages, covered with a natural waterproofing material made from plant resins, and placed in a wooden coffin. Sometimes the coffin was then put into a stone sarcophagus to keep it extra safe. Other cultures across the world have practiced mummification too,

The long awaited dinosaur documentary Prehistoric Planet is finally here! The Apple  TV+ show  unveils the spectacular habitats and inhabitants of ancient Earth in an immersive digital experience. Using modern science and CGI, it gives us a possible look at the earth millions of years ago. Trey and Miles break down the show, the science, and what they thought about the story telling. There is no Monster Quest this episode. Instead there is coverage of the following two Prehistoric Planet Epoxides"Coasts": A father Tyrannosaurus and his offspring swim across a perilous seaway to feed on a dead giant turtle. Alcione hatchlings take their first flight through a gauntlet of predatory pterosaurs, Barbaridactylus and Phosphatodraco. Tuarangisaurus travel to a bay in search of gastroliths. A male Mosasaurus hoffmanni is cleaned by reef denizens and defends his territory from a rival. Scaphitid ammonites perform an elaborate mating display. A distressed pregnant Tuarangisaurus is targeted by Kaikaifilu."Deserts": Dreadnoughtus males compete for the right to mate. Lizards are hunted by Velociraptor among a group of sleeping Tarbosaurus. A Mononykus forages for termites and investigates new food options after a brief rainstorm. Several types of dinosaurs congregate around a watering hole in Mongolia. Barbaridactylus males compete for females atop a remote plateau. A herd of Secernosaurus brave the harsh gypsum dunes in search of nourishment.Support the show

Tarbosaurus was the largest carnivore dinosaur in Asia. Like its North American cousin, Tyrannosaurus rex, this massive predator ruled its domain.

Mongolia is a vast country with fossils from almost every period in the history of life. Important specimens representing the origin of birds, the origin of mammals, many unique dinosaur species, and the first dinosaur eggs to be identified, have all been found within it’s borders. For this reason it has long been the focus of field expeditions by Mongolian and international academics, but the remote nature of many of the sites has lead to fossil trafficking – where Mongolian specimens are illegally shipped out of the country, often labelled as something else entirely. In this episode we speak to Bolortsetseg Minjin, a Mongolian palaeontologist who is helping bring many important stolen specimens back home, including the tyrannosaur Tarbosaurus bataar. We chat to her, and her colleague Thea Boodhoo, about the history of palaeonotlogy in Mongolia, and about several projects they are running to spread knowledge to Mongolian people about the importance of the rich natural history heritage of their country. We also find out about their moveable museum and plans for a big fossil outreach tour this summer in the Gobi desert, for which they are currently trying to raise funds.

暴龙（学名：Tyrannosaurus）又名霸王龙，目前唯一的有效种是模式种雷克斯暴龙（Tyrannosaurus rex）或称雷克斯龙，是一种大型的肉食性恐龙，身长约12米，臀部高度约4.5米，体重最大约15吨。暴龙生存于白垩纪末期的马斯特里赫特阶，距今约6800万年到6500万年，是白垩纪-第三纪灭绝事件前最后的恐龙种群之一。化石分布于北美洲的美国、加拿大西部，分布范围较其他暴龙科更广；白垩纪晚期的北美洲西部是个独立的拉腊米迪亚大陆。 有些科学家认为亚洲的勇士特暴龙（Tarbosaurus bataar）是暴龙属的第二个有效种，而其他科学家则认为特暴龙是独立的属。除此之外，过去有许多暴龙科的种被归类于暴龙属，但目前多被认为是暴龙的异名，或被分类于其他属。 如同其他的暴龙科恐龙，暴龙是二足、肉食性恐龙，拥有大型头颅骨，并借由长而重的尾巴来保持平衡。相对于它们大而强壮的后肢和巨大的身体，暴龙的前肢已经严重退化且极其细小，只是平衡头部的工具。长久以来，暴龙被认为只有两根手指，但在2007年发现的一个完整的暴龙化石，显示它们也可能具有三根手指。暴龙被认为是种食腐动物，以大型食草恐龙的尸体为食，但也有少数科学家认为暴龙是种积极的掠食动物。虽然目前有其他兽脚亚目恐龙的体型与暴龙相当或更大，暴龙仍在巨型肉食恐龙名单之列，亦是最著名的陆地掠食动物之一。亦有研究认为其拥有恐龙中最大的咬合力。 目前已有超过30个雷克斯暴龙的标本被确认，包含几具完整度很高的化石。暴龙的大量化石材料，使科学家们有足够的资料研究暴龙生理的各个层面，包括生长模式与生物力学。有些研究人员还在标本上发现了软组织与蛋白质。但暴龙的食性、生理机能以及移动速度仍在争论中。

The Mesozoic Era saw the spectacular rise and fall of many groups, particularly in terrestrial vertebrates. These include birds, squamates, crocodiles, and pterosaurs, who wove a complex tapestry of evolution through the 185 million years of the Mesozoic, some even persisting until now. Dave Hone, now of Queen Mary in London, has extensively studied the ecology of many of these now-extinct organisms, especially theropod dinosaurs, to gain rare insights into how they would have lived millions of years ago. You can keep track of his research by following his blogs at the Guardian and Archosaur Musings webpages.
