Karla explores the connection between dinosaurs and certain modern day creatures from her private zoo.

Louie, Karla's emu, shares an important feature with dinosaurs: strong back legs used for defense and attack, for example.

Fossil remains, Karla explains, suggest that at least one of the "bird" dinosaurs walked more than it flew, as does this macaw, Mikey.

With her young audience, Karla  discusses common features -- sharp teeth and claws and powerful jaws -- that dinosaurs and this tegu share.
