In November of last year paleontologists working in South Africa announced the discovery of Aardonyx celestae, a sauropodomorph dinosaur which has helped scientists better understand the evolution of the immense sauropod dinosaurs. It took quite a bit of work to get those bones out of the ground, though, and the new BBC documentary "Museum of Life" provides a behind-the-scenes look at the site from which this strange dinosaur has been recovered.
