Overview: Meet Dave Dawes. He's an experienced zoo technician who's just landed his dream job working at Dinolab. During his first day on the job he meets some extraordinary animals: Argentinosaurus, one of the largest dinosaurs to walk the face of the Earth; Stegosaurus, armed and dangerous; the small-but-mighty winged Microraptor; the kind-but-unpredictable Hypacrosaurus; and the infamous, ferocious T-Rex. The lab's diverse and fascinating experiments set out to challenge long-held scientific theories and beliefs. These creatures are bigger, faster, and hungrier than you can imagine… Even the most carefully planned experiment can suddenly turn to chaos. When you bring the dead back to life, anything can happen!
