Awesome! Oh yeah, the animal is cool too, whatever. From the Middle Jurassic, this 30-foot theropod used to have hundreds of different species in its genus before settling with <em>Megalosaurus bucklandii</em>, which is good. One is enough, I say. No need to hog all the species for yourself, you silly genus. Golly, this show is nonsense. </p><p><br></p><p>Want to further support the show?
