I'm Dr Rex: -- Bachelor of Zoology (2014) -- PhD in Comparative Feeding Biomechanics (2019) -- Published 20+ peer-reviewed papers on 💀💀💀 from all kinds of animals On this channel, I'll be breaking down the bare-bones basics of skull science. My goal is to build an eclectic community of skullywags, all united by their mutual love of skulls. If you're new to the channel, sit back, check out some skull content, and feel free to join the growing community. Welcome to The Skullywag Lab 💀🔬🤓
