Experts have discovered a new small species of dinosaur. It has been named Enigmacursor mollyborthwickae, and scientists say it lived around 150 million years ago, during the late Jurassic period. Millions of years following their extinction, how are we still finding new dinosaurs? And how much can we learn from them?

BBC Science correspondent Victoria Gill explains the discovery and why we’re fascinated by them. We also hear from two dinosaur experts. Steve Brusatte is a professor of Palaeontology and Evolution at the University of Edinburgh and also consulted on the Jurassic Park movies. And Aswatha Biju is an Indian palaeontologist who has been collecting dinosaur fossils since she was 12 years old.
