Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior

What They Did and How We Know

By: David Hone

Narrated by: Graham Mack

Our understanding of dinosaur behavior has long been hampered by the inevitable lack of evidence from animals that went extinct more than sixty-five million years ago. Today, with the discovery of new specimens and the development of new and cutting-edge techniques, paleontologists are making major advances in reconstructing how dinosaurs lived and acted. Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior provides an unparalleled look at this emerging field of science, presenting the latest findings on dinosaur behavior and explaining how researchers interpret the often minimal and even conflicting information available to them.

David Hone begins by introducing listeners to the fundamentals of dinosaur biology, diversity, and evolution, and goes on to describe their behaviors, from feeding and communication to reproduction, sociality, and combat. Speculation about dinosaur behavior goes back to the earliest scientific studies of these "terrible lizards." Hone traces how pioneering science is opening a window into prehistoric life as never before, and discusses future directions of research in this thrilling and rapidly growing area of paleontology.

Written by one of the world's leading dinosaur experts, Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior is a foundational work on the subject and an invaluable reference for anyone interested in these amazing creatures.

interesting but a little slim

Great book, but spent more time arguing against rather than arguing for. Would be nice to have more case studies.

Loved the narrator

The narrator made it feel a lot more like a lecture than a book read, which I enjoyed. The knowledge was stuff I’d known generally but this went more in-depth, incredibly insightful and digestible.

No PDF

Overall, pretty good. However no PDF was included. The narrator constantly told the listener to refer to the Ebook or the book. It was really annoying because I don't want to purchase a print copy since I already have the Audible version.
