Paleontologists are hunters of another age, using their skills and senses to stalk prey that has lain dormant for 65 million years. This 94-minute National Geographic video follows 3 hunters on their quest to increase our knowledge of these extinct reptiles. In the hourlong first segment, Paul Sereno discovers the remains of a never-before-found dinosaur and spends two years reconstructing the skeleton. It provides a fascinating exploration of the life of the dinosaur as well as the life of the paleontologist, from grueling digs in the African desert to the equally grueling marathon he runs to raise funds to complete his work. In "Dinosaur Egg Hunt," a National Geographic photographer flies around the world in eight days to shoot images of dinosaur eggs and embryos, revealing the delicate beginnings of these lumbering giants. The video's final segment glimpses the controversy surrounding Sue, the most complete T. rex skeleton found to date. Throughout, the video is both educational and entertaining, making it a great addition to any collection of dinosaur documentaries. --Larisa Lomacky Moore
