The Scientific Accuracy of Walking With Dinosaurs - Episode 4: Giant of the Skies

More than 20 years after it first aired, how accurate is the fourth episode of Walking With Dinosaurs? Trey the Explainer joins me as we take a look at what Giant of the Skies got right or wrong and how much our understanding of palaeontology has changed in the last two decades.

Special thank you to Trey for helping me out with this one!
