INTERVIEW: The new dinosaur found in a forgotten museum drawer

from Weekend One on One

Our fascination with prehistoric worlds is all to obvious with the release of latest Jurassic World blockbuster Rebirth. We might think we're familiar with all the giant creatures which wandered our planet millions of years ago thanks to series like 'Walking with Dinosaurs', but scientists are still discovering new species. The latest find is a lizard which lived about 76 million years ago in the late Late Cretaceous period which came after the Jurassic. It's called Bolg, named after the Goblin Prince in J R R Tolkien's classic fantasy tale, 'The Hobbit'. In this edition of Weekend One on One, we hear from Hank Woolley, the lead author of the study on the new lizard, and who discovered its bones forgotten in a museum drawer during his research trip to the Natural History Museum of Utah.
