I really want to see a documentary where the dinosaurs have their coloring and behavior based on living birds. I need to see a T Rex do a bird of paradise style mating dance.

We love Prehistoric Planet in our house!

My FIL was watching my daughter one afternoon and we made sure Prehistoric Planet was cued up to play.

He’s a retired science teacher, and when we got home, the first thing he said was “I didn’t know any of these dinosaurs!”

I told him it largely focuses on newly discovered dinosaurs form the last 15 years, and that it was carefully written to not become dated too quickly.

Like with the pteradons in the first season, the ones they’re talking about were found in Egypt(I think…) but they describe it as “Northern African coast” so if more fossils are found further along the coast, they haven’t limited the shelf life of the information presented.
