The skeletons of five creatures that walked with dinosaurs – and ate them – were unearthed in remote and rocky regions of what are now Morocco and Niger during a series of expeditions in the Sahara desert

For the first time in a generation, a palaeontologist has assembled a general reference book that tracks the rise and fall of the world’s ever-hip reptile – the dinosaur
