Encyclopedia Britannica Profiles Dinosaurs
What makes dinosaurs so interesting—their huge size, their exotic mystique? Or is it just that were still learning about these strange, lumbering creatures as scientists make new discoveries and revise old theories?
Decide for yourself, with Encyclopedia Britannica Profiles Dinosaurs. Watch a tyrannosaurus running*...see how you measure up to him (would you reach his knee, his back, or his neck?)...and click your way through the evolution of dinosaurs in an interactive timeline.
* There are only 2 QuickTime movie files included which do not include audio, we were able to play these on the free program VLC media player but not in Windows Media Player. We were not able to play them from within the program itself when we tested it on Windows 7 & Windows 8. They are very short & not very insightful in our opinion, the dinosaur Family Tree & Timeline is definitely the star of this program.
Comprehensive and engaging, its the one source for all ages on this captivating subject.
