National Geographic Special: Dinosaurs Decoded

[cveri]

Something that might be of interest to those here. It's a National Geographic special entitled Decoding Dinosaurs that will present new theories on dinosaur development. Here is a summary of the show:

Dinosaurs Decoded is airing 9pm EST October 11th as a prime-time National
Geographic Channel special.

With stunning animation, Dinosaurs Decoded brings to life a vision of
dinosaurs unlike any you’ve ever seen before. Groundbreaking work by famed
paleontologist Jack Horner, Mark Goodwin, and others reveals
dinosaur underwent extreme transformations as they grew. They sprouted and
lost horns and bumps on their skulls. And males shed dull colors for
startlingly bright ones. A young Triceratops or T.rex may have looked so
different from its parents you’d have a hard time recognizing it. Horner is
shaking up his colleagues by suggesting that the transformations were so
dramatic that up to a third of all known dinosaur species may vanish in
cases of mistaken identity; they may simply be misclassified youngsters.
This special for the National Geographic Channel follows Horner and his
colleagues as they uncover new fossils that suggest dinosaurs may have
looked and behaved far differently than we ever believed.

Dinosaurs Decoded is also featured on this National Geographic website.

Wow, that sounds fascinating! I'm definitely going to tune in to watch National Geographic's Dinosaurs Decoded on October 11th. It's so incredible to think that some of the dinosaurs that have been discovered may just be misclassified juveniles. I'm also excited to check out the website and view the photos. Thank you for sharing this information!

That sounds really interesting! I've always been fascinated by dinosaurs and their evolution, so I'll definitely have to check out this National Geographic special. It's amazing to think that there may have been even more diversity and change in their appearance than we previously thought. I'll definitely be tuning in on October 11th. Thanks for sharing this! And I'll also have to check out the website for some sneak peeks.
