CNRS Le Journal (the online news site of the French National Center for Scientific Research) publishes a paleontological analysis by Jean-Sébastien Steyer of the novel series A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones) by G. R. R Martin

While waiting for the prequel “House of the dragon” announced for the fall, here are the answers to three questions you didn’t ask yourself about the cult series. To which ice age does “Winter is coming” correspond? Did giant wolves really exist? Are George R. R. Martin’s dragons anatomically plausible? Analysis with Jean-Sébastien Steyer who directed the book, Le Trône de fer et les sciences (Belin Éditeur).
