With large teeth for mashing plants and sharper teeth for eating insects and worms, we can even tell that fruitadens was an omnivore.
果齿龙拥有可以捣碎植物的大牙齿和吃昆虫、蠕虫的锋利的牙齿，我们甚至可以说它是杂食动物。
But the final piece of the puzzle in recreating this animal is its colour. And that's something we can't be sure about.
但是重建它最后的难题是这种动物的颜色。这一点我是无法确定的。
If you push things too far, you go with poker dots, and purple and pink, your audience simply won't believe it.
如果你把事情做过头了，你加上了点，是紫色和粉色的，那么你的观众根本不会相信。
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.
但是如果你利用现实生活中的动物，我们实际上只需要看鳄鱼皮，或者一些蜥蜴的着色，甚至是鱼的身体颜色就可以知道很多种颜色，而这些还是可信的。
Like everything in the exhibition, the finished work will have to be approved by Luis.
就像展会上的一切，快完工的时候必须由路易斯核准。
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.
所以有一件事我们需要谨记，尽管我们希望在模型或者颜色上有些变化，但是显然它们应该看上去是一种物种。
You're gonna give me some freedom to experiment on some colours, maybe in the face or the throat.
你应该给我试着更换一些颜色的权利，也许在脸上或者在喉咙的部位。
I still think that overall we want to stick to standard gray, green, brown.
我还是认为，总体上我们想坚持用灰色、绿色和棕色。
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，当你在六米以外的地方观看，我觉得人们看到那些微妙的东西会感到高兴。
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.
尽管果齿龙的颜色未知，新的科学突破让古生物学家用另外一种方式看到以往不可能看到的恐龙。
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.
我还在学习更多的有关恐龙的知识，随着越来越多的标本的出现，我们用来分析它们的技术越来越复杂。
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.
我们要去配合在研究恐龙某一方面有突出发现的人，而很多人认为那些发现可能永远不会真相大白。
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，这就是我们现在在看的，拿好，把它放这儿。只需要一两分钟就能启动真空了。
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.
迈克·本顿教授最近遇到保存极度完好的恐龙的遗骸，还有羽毛和骨骼化石。
Incredibly, those feathers can tell us the colour of a dinosaur that lived 125 million years ago.
令人难以置信的是，依据这些羽毛的颜色，我们可以得知以只恐龙活在1.25亿年前。
