For many years paleontologists, paleoartists and curious people have wondered about the real colors of extinct animals such as dinosaurs and pterosaurs.
Today, technology combined with paleontology has opened a true window into natural history that has allowed us to infer colors and patterns extinct millions of years ago from some of the best preserved animals in the history of planet Earth.
In this documentary, we will meet five of these animals and understand how science was able to reconstruct them with such precision.
Based on the work of Michael Benton:
"Dinosaurs: new visions of a lost world" and "The dinosaurs rediscovered"
