Dripping with kid friendly sarcasm, this series presents various animals from several periods that thrived during the age of dinosaurs and explains how they thrived, reproduced and co-existed.
Meet the animals of the Triassic with a lesson on how to distinguish reptiles from dinosaurs from proto-mammals. Problem is, several critters are somewhere in between.
A diplodocus wanders into a forest where she lays as many as a hundred eggs. Even in the relative safety of the forest the young diplodocus are at risk from various carnivores such as ornitholestes and allosaurus even before they hatch. But in a few year some grow large enough on the lush forest vegetation to join the herd migrating on the prairie.
With the land full of dinosaurs and the sea full of fish some reptiles returned to the sea when they grew to dinosaur proportions to become top predators. Still, life has it's challenges.
An aging ornithocheirus braves the elements to on a migrational flight or 9,000 miles in hopes of mating. Meanwhile a herd of iguanodon brave hungry predators migrating to their mating grounds.
Antarctica sported lush forests that supported a variety of dinosaurs and other animals during the Cretaceous. But that doesn't mean winter was any fun.
All good things must come to an end and that includes big hungry monster like T. Rex. But until then the dinosaurs of the late Cretaceous live out their live of eating, fighting and reproducing.
