About this episode
This episode discusses the largest bird to ever fly, which was a dinosaur, and explores its significance in the context of aviation and paleontology.
Dinosaurs are well known for being absolute units, so it may not come as too much of a surprise, that the largest animal to fly that was not a pterosaur, happened to be a dinosaur, go figure.
