Star Warsologies 44: Paleontology
Paleontologist Dr. Stuart Sumida teaches us all about the enormous creatures that live in a galaxy far, far away. All on this episode of Star Warsologies!
In this latest episode of Star Warsologies, we delve deep into the animals of Star Wars, especially the megafauna of The Mandalorian!
James and Melissa chat about the megafauna of The Mandalorian with Dr. Stuart Sumida. Stuart is a paleontologist, a teacher, and a science consultant for movies, TV shows, and video games. He answers questions for us, including: Do mythosaurs use echolocation? How many Mandalorians would those raptor babies be able to eat in one sitting? Would riding on a horse-wolf actually be comfortable?
In Star Warsologies, hosts James Floyd and Melissa Miller combine their love of Star Wars with their keen interest in all things academic by asking experts about how their field is represented in a galaxy far, far away. It’s a monthly podcast about science and Star Wars!
