 Dinosaurs: Giants of Patagonia November 18, 2009 - March 15, 2010 Dinosaurs are amongst the most fascinating animals to have ever walked the Earth. Their enormous size and their disappearance millions of years ago, makes them captivating for all ages. Dinosaurs: Giants of Patagonia takes audiences on an unprecedented and unique journey into the world of the largest known dinosaurs and, in the process, explore some of the great paleontological discoveries of modern time. The film concentrates on the remarkable discoveries made in Patagonia, in the south of Argentina, by world-renowned paleontologist Rodolfo Coria. As director of a dinosaur museum in the city of Plaza Huincul, Coria was responsible for discovering some of the largest dinosaurs ever found: Argentinosaurus, a giant herbivore that could reach 100 tons and 120-feet in length, making it the biggest animal to ever walk the earth, and Giganotosaurus, a 15-meter long meat eating predator that was even bigger than the famous T-Rex. Deeply rooted in science, the film carries the audience through the lives of these two superb creatures. The action is intense and the landscapes, shot in some of the most stunning locations in Patagonia, are truly magnificent. They are also very close to the ones where dinosaurs actually lived. As it shows how the dinosaur era came to an end, 65 million years ago, Dinosaurs: Giants of Patagonia also reveals how these animals are still with us today. Their descendants, much less fearsome, are all around us, everyday… birds. Running time is 43 minutes. Some of the dinosaur scenes may be considered intense for very young children.
