An engaging and interesting walk through the theropod family tree. It takes in the major non-avian species whilst looking at the traits that took them down the path to modern birds. Very much enjoyed.

This course was great! It explains everything clearly, and it keeps you involved by asking questions about the material, and keeps you amused with some interesting anecdotes. Highly suggested by me!
