With large teeth for mashing plants and sharper teeth for eating insects and worms, we can even tell that fruitadens was an omnivore.
果齒龍擁有可以搗碎植物的大牙齒和吃昆蟲、蠕蟲的鋒利的牙齒，我們甚至可以說它是雜食動物。
But the final piece of the puzzle in recreating this animal is its colour. And that's something we can't be sure about.
但是重建它最后的難題是這種動物的顏色。這一點我是無法確定的。
If you push things too far, you go with poker dots, and purple and pink, your audience simply won't believe it.
如果你把事情做過頭了，你加上了點，是紫色和粉色的，那么你的觀眾根本不會相信。
But if you draw upon the examples of our living animals, we can actually gain a lot just by looking at crocodile skin, the colouration in maybe some lizards and fish even, and it will remain believable.
但是如果你利用現實生活中的動物，我們實際上只需要看鱷魚皮，或者一些蜥蜴的著色，甚至是魚的身體顏色就可以知道很多種顏色，而這些還是可信的。
Like everything in the exhibition, the finished work will have to be approved by Luis.
就像展會上的一切，快完工的時候必須由路易斯核準。
So one thing we need to keep in mind is that although we want to have some variation in pattern or in colour, they obviously all need to look the same species.
所以有一件事我們需要謹記，盡管我們希望在模型或者顏色上有些變化，但是顯然它們應該看上去是一種物種。
You're gonna give me some freedom to experiment on some colours, maybe in the face or the throat.
你應該給我試著更換一些顏色的權利，也許在臉上或者在喉嚨的部位。
I still think that overall we want to stick to standard gray, green, brown.
我還是認為，總體上我們想堅持用灰色、綠色和棕色。
I think that will be nice to subtle that something can be viewed when you are looking at it from, you know, six feet away.
你知道的，當你在六米以外的地方觀看，我覺得人們看到那些微妙的東西會感到高興。
Although the colour of fruitadens is unknown, new scientific breakthroughs are allowing paleontologists to see some dinosaurs in a way that's never been possible before.
盡管果齒龍的顏色未知，新的科學突破讓古生物學家用另外一種方式看到以往不可能看到的恐龍。
We are still learning more about dinosaurs, as increasing numbers of specimens come to light, but also as the techniques that we used to analyses them become more and more sophisticated.
我還在學習更多的有關恐龍的知識，隨著越來越多的標本的出現，我們用來分析它們的技術越來越復雜。
And I'm off to meet somebody now who has made great discoveries in one particular aspect of dinosaur science that many people thought would remain hidden forever.
我們要去配合在研究恐龍某一方面有突出發現的人，而很多人認為那些發現可能永遠不會真相大白。
OK. So this is what we are now going to look at, hold this, put this in. it will take a minute or two to fire up the vacuum.
好了，這就是我們現在在看的，拿好，把它放這兒。只需要一兩分鐘就能啟動真空了。
Pro. Mike Benton recently came across the remains of a dinosaur that was so exquisitely well preserved that feathers as well as bones had fossilized.
邁克·本頓教授最近遇到保存極度完好的恐龍的遺骸，還有羽毛和骨骼化石。
Incredibly, those feathers can tell us the colour of a dinosaur that lived 125 million years ago.
令人難以置信的是，依據這些羽毛的顏色，我們可以得知以只恐龍活在1.25億年前。
