The Lystra Saurus

In the book I describe it as having the body of a pig, the attitude to food of a golden retriever and the head of an electric can opener. Next week, Inside Science will be coming from Montreal, where Victoria Gill will be devoting the whole show to COP 15. Wildlife populations have fallen on average by an astonishing 69% since 1970. There's clearly a need for a plan to protect the remaining global biodiversity. Find out how with Vic next week.
