Dino Death Trap!

National Geographic's Dino Death Trap is premiering Sunday December 9th at 8:00 pm.

As part of generating publicity for the series they have set up this fun micro site where you can play the game "Dino Central Park"

Dino Death Trap chronicles paleontologists in China's western Gobi desert uncovering what they believe to be the aftermath of this prehistoric cataclysm-pits of dinosaur fossils stacked four and five deep. Nothing like this has ever been seen before-a mass grave site of predatory dinos, including what scientists believe is the precursor to the most "terrible lizard" of them all-the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Preview the show here and also check out the preview of a follow up show called Dino Autopsy.

Let me know what you think of the shows!

The show preview is great! It tells why the dinos got so big. I am sure thankful they shrank back down before I showed up! LOL! Animals walking around with big teeth and stomachs big enough to hold me and two of my friends make me nervous! LOL!
