Dinosaurs lived long, long ago, but many children are fascinated by what they were like, what they ate, and how we can still learn about them today.
In this Wonder Time episode, Hugo the Hippo is coloring a dinosaur picture after spending the week looking through dinosaur books. When Leo the Lion notices Hugo’s drawing, the two friends begin to wonder about dinosaurs, fossils, eggs, and what made some dinosaurs so big and strong. Along the way, Hugo shares some of his favorite dinosaur facts, and Leo starts to wonder, too.
