Paleontologists now debate the traditional assumption that dinosaurs were cold-blooded. Learn the basics of thermoregulation in vertebrates. Then, consider the range of evidence, relating to body type and size, heart function, locomotion, brain capacity, and body temperature, that points to the possibility that dinosaurs were metabolically closer to birds and mammals than to modern reptiles.

Explores the lives of the dinosaurs.

Captain Lee and his crew crash land on a planet similar to Earth, but millions of years behind in time. They encounter a variety of dangerous dinosaurs, so the crew decides their best chance for survival lies on finding higher ground and setting up a defensive perimeter until they are rescued.
