From prestigious museums and universities, to blockbuster films, amusement park rides, video games, and toys–dinosaurs have always fascinated us. But, why? WHY DINOSAURS follows dino-obsessed youth James Pinto and his filmmaker father on a journey around the world, interviewing world renowned paleontologists about the latest dinosaur research, digging up real dinosaur bones, and encountering dinosaur fanatics of all walks of life.
