Before the lines of our state borders were drawn, many animals walked throughout the area that we now call Mississippi. Prehistoric birds, mammals, and reptiles charted their course throughout the state, and thanks to paleontologists like our guest today, we can peer back through time and guess what these animals might have been like. James Starnes from the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality is our guest for the hour.
