  abstract: An exploration into the world of dinosaurs, presented by paleontologist Armin Schmitt. Through firsthand experiences and groundbreaking research, Schmitt delves into the lives of these ancient creatures, showcasing global excavations and remarkable discoveries. While familiar favorites like Tyrannosaurus rex make appearances, Schmitt also addresses intriguing questions, such as the excavation process, the survival of birds during extinction events, the evolution of paleontology since the Bone Wars era, and parallels between past climate changes and contemporary environmental challenges.
