From the outback of Australia to the Gobi Desert of Mongolia and the savanna of Madagascar, the award-winning science writer and dinosaur enthusiast John Pickrell embarks on a world tour of new finds, meeting the fossil hunters who work at the frontier of discovery. He reveals the dwarf dinosaurs unearthed by an eccentric Transylvanian baron; an aquatic, crocodile-snouted carnivore bigger than T. rex that once lurked in North African waterways; a Chinese dinosaur with wings like a bat; and a Patagonian sauropod so enormous it weighed more than two commercial jet airliners.

Other surprising discoveries hail from Alaska, Siberia, Canada, Burma, and South Africa. Why did dinosaurs grow so huge? How did they spread across the world? Did they all have feathers? What do sauropods have in common with 1950s vacuum cleaners? The stuff of adventure movies and scientific revolutions, Weird Dinosaurs examines the latest breakthroughs and new technologies that are radically transforming our understanding of the distant past. Pickrell opens a vivid portal to a brand-new age of fossil discovery, in which fossil hunters are routinely redefining what we know and how we think about prehistory's most iconic and fascinating creatures.

Not comparable to the bars
Flavor Name: Chicken Sriracha, Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
I often get the chicken Sriracha bars, so I thought this is a more economical way to get that bit of protein. However, these are extremely different than the bars. They are thinner, obviously, and that makes the whole bar drier and... I'm not sure how to describe it, it almost tastes like plastic. Overall, I'll get the bars any day, but these I really can't stomach. On the spiciness side, I think they're pretty balanced. My husband, who doesn't tolerate heat well, likes them, so I'd say they're mild spice. But I personally cannot get over the plastic flavor.

For the chicken go with the bars, not the strips.
Flavor Name: Chicken Sriracha, Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
I really enjoyed the larger Sriracha bars, as they were an excellent combo of spicy, salty, and juicy. Bought these strips under the assumption they'd be the same. Not even close. No detectable salt, only the barest hint of spice (you can sort-of get the spice back if you eat a large chunk and chew it for around a minute), and the flavor when you first stick it in your mouth is dry and interrupted by a weird plastic-like taste for the first ten seconds or so. Since it's food I can't return them. At $40 it's an expensive lesson learned. Go with the bars, not the strips.

Favorite flavor
Flavor Name: Chicken Sriracha, Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
This is one of my favorite flavors they make (2nd only to bacon)! It has just enough spice and not a lot of fat.
