Dino Revolution
Description
Fuzzy babies. Stay-at-home dads. Flamboyant feathers. Exactly what you think when you hear the words Tyrannosaurus rex, right? If not, then think again. For hundreds of years, we thought dinosaurs ruled the planet as scaly, reptilian beasts that terrorized early earth. But new scientific advances are proving us wrong and painting an entirely new picture of not only the T. rex, but the entire dinosaur world. With the discovery of feathered dinosaurs in China and a revolutionary new method of reconstructing original color, scientists are building a new picture of what dinosaurs actually looked like, how they behaved, and how they used their feathers. Watch to learn how the myth of the huge lizards that terrorized the landscape is proven wrong by new science and meet the one tiny, birdlike creature responsible for dismantling beliefs about the mighty T. rex and his ground-shaking, meat-eating brethren.
