Transylvanosaurus, the Lizard from Across the Forest

Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Cici Eilert discuss Transylvanosaurus, a dinosaur with a name far scarier than this cute little critter would suggest, but I suppose Romanian means vampires, am I right? From the Late Cretaceous, this 6-foot rhabdodontid lived in an island paradise alongside some other miniaturized dinosaurs with their only fear being the giant pterosaurs that would swoop in from above and kill them, kind of like how Dracula and his brides did the same to villagers with their big bat forms. Huh, maybe the name is more fitting than I thought.
