We have so many Microraptor specimens we know the color of their feathers, how they molted, what they ate, and much more. Plus a new hypothesis for why the first wings may have evolved. On a lighter note we cover some famous pop-culture dinosaurs: Rodan, Godzillasaurus, Ultimasaurus, and Toronto's Raptor mascot.
