Dino Dex

"Chickenosaurus Rex"

Synopsis:

Dex is a 9-year-old artist, explorer, and ‘paleontologist in training’. Like Dan, Trek, and his big sister Dana, Dex uses his Dino Field Guide to magically see and study dinosaurs in the real world. Thanks to his artistic eye, Dex envisions them a bit differently, getting right into the action to reconsider how prehistoric creatures like the T. rex, Velociraptor, and Megalodon looked and lived.

Episode Synopsis:
After Dex inherits his Dino Field Guide from his older sister Dana, he sets out on his grandest dinosaur experiment yet: proving that everything we thought we knew about how dinosaurs looked will have to be redrawn. But first he has to convince his geology-loving next door neighbour Kayla to help him.
