<description>&lt;div&gt;Today we talk all things dinosaurs! First we dive into an ongoing case of poaching over 1 million dollars worth of dinosaur fossils from Utah. After, we talk about why some are so valuable, the celebrities with private collections, their history, and the National Parks that preserve them.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
We love our National Parks and we know you do too but when you're out there, remember to enjoy the view but watch your back.
