| | | The new facts about dinosaurs featuring the real-life paleontologists that helped create Jurassic Park.
Join scientists as they unravel the mystery behind the history of dinosaurs. Discover how these remarkably diverse and triumphant creatures were the masters of the plane for over 140 million years. Share the recent discovery of the very first dinosaur, in the high plateaus of Argentina. Travel to the site of a primordial disaster in Nova Scotia that killed off the dinosaurs' competition and helped usher in the age when dinosaurs were unchallenged in their domination of the world. See the nesting grounds of the Miassaurs, the extraordinary "good mother lizards," creatures that radically changed our notions of dinosaurs by showing some actually lived in nesting colonies where they fed and protected their young. It's an eye-opener. Dinosaurs may be extinct, but they keep coming back. In The Dinosaurs, discover startling facts and dramatic new theories that have revolutionized our understanding of these earth-shakers--the largest, most ferocious animals to ever roam this planet. Featuring Dr. John Ostrum, the paleontologist who inspired Michael Chrichton to create Alan Grant, the main character of Jurassic Park, The Dinosaurs sheds light on the truth about the lifestyles of dinosaurs. Surprising new discoveries now show that dinosaurs were intensely active, fleet-footed hunters; devoted, child rearing parents; and warm-blooded. Dynamic on-location footage of prominent scientists as they unearth the latest discoveries, and exciting, innovative animation will help you develop an understanding of the beauty of these awesome and unique beasts.
