  Prehistoric Planet, I say as an amateur. But from what little I read about it it’s pretty alright apparently, and most of the ‘wrong/we’re not sure about this bit’ things are listed on the wiki afaik.

  Of course there’s much more scientific depth possible than a TV show, but it’s a start towards recreating the common notion of what dinosaurs may have looked like.

    Feathers and colours? Dinosaurs must have looked absolutely FABULOUS!

      Something that stands out to me is how the most colorful creatures are good at evasion. Birds and bugs flying or reef creatures have hiding holes. Other colorful life tends to be toxic.

      For this reason I doubt the huge species had color that stood out from their environment.

      you say it as a joke, but look at the non extinct dinosaurs we have today,

      most birds are indeed much more flamboyant than Jurassic park dinosaurs
