How do scientists know what dinosaurs looked like? How do scientists know what color dinosaurs were? How do scientists know that dinosaurs laid eggs? How do scientists know what food dinosaurs ate? Oh, and how do scientists know woolly mammoths had fur?

These were all great questions a curious young learner from Carlisle School had for VMNH Assistant Curator of Paleontology Dr. Adam Pritchard, so he answers them in this week's special edition of "Tales of Ancient Life" presented by Carter Bank & Trust and Boxley Materials Company!
