In this episode, Matt interviews Adam about his research into the early days of the Age of Reptiles and the strange non-dinosaurs living 212 million years ago in New Mexico. Come face-to-face with Drepanosaurus, one of the strangest reptiles that ever lived on Earth, and one that has presented an anatomical mystery for over thirty years! Nicknamed “the monkey lizard,”iIt had arms like no other animal, a claw on the end of its tail, and likely lived like a modern anteater!
