Plot Synopsis

Dino detective Dr. Phil Manning launches a full-scale investigation to unearth how dinosaurs really looked and lived by going into the minds, under the skin and inside the bones of the biggest, most impressive beasts ever to walk the planet. With privileged access to some of the world's most sophisticated technologies -- from crime scene 3D mapping technology to an image machine one million times stronger than a chest X-ray -- Dr. Manning challenges long-held assumptions and poses radical questions about our understanding of dinosaurs. Nat Geo aired a sneak peek episode of this series on Thursday, July 7, 2011 at 10pm ET.
