South Korea Finds a Baby Doolysaurus

Meet Doolysaurus: The "Lamb-Like" Baby Dino from South Korea | A 15-Year BreakthroughYesterday, the world of paleontology got a lot cuter. In this episode, we dive into the discovery of Doolysaurus huhmini, a newly identified baby dinosaur from South Korea that researchers say looked like a "little lamb".We explore how this turkey-sized, fuzzy creature—named after the iconic Korean cartoon character Dooly—became the first new dinosaur species found in the country in 15 years. Using advanced micro-CT scanning at UT Austin, scientists peered through solid rock to reveal the first-ever preserved dinosaur skull material found in Korea. Join us as we discuss its omnivorous diet of plants and insects (proven by fossilized stomach stones), its life 113 million years ago, and why this "desk-sized" dinosaur is changing our understanding of the Cretaceous period.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/scitech-brief--6846358/support.This episode includes AI-generated content.
