The DVD might be better named "Paleontology Inside and Out" because each episode describes more about how paleontologists research dinosaurs than about the actual dinosaurs. Anyone who wants to be a paleontologist or who wonders how they work in the field and in the lab will find the DVD very worthwhile.

ANCIENT DINOS
THIS WAS FOR MY GRANDSON WHO IS A DINOSAUR FANATIC..... HE IS ONLY 5 YRS OLD BUT HE KNOWS MORE OF DINOS THAN I DO OF LIFE WITH MY 53 YRS OF AGE.. HEHE.......
IT IS A WONDERFUL SET OF CD'S VERY EDUCATIONAL AS WELL AS FUN. GREAT ITEM.
Informative!
If you want to learn about Dinosaurs, the people who look for them and how they find them, this is an excellent video. It also describes different views on the extinction of Dinosaurs, as well as new information on how some of them lived. I was also very surprised that it contained information on finds in Argentina!

If you want to learn, not just be entertained I recomend this video.
