Damn. That explains why Dinosaur Train and Daniel Tiger are no longer on Netflix today. That's frustrating.

Fun fact, the "dinosaur" family in Dinosaur Train are not actually dinosaurs, scientifically speaking. Of course, no self respecting 3yo will ever accept your explanation.

Of course. Just like I have difficult explaining to her just how crazy it is that a T-Rex egg not only ended up in a Pteranodon nest, but also somehow got adopted by them. Pteranodon would be ideal prey for a T-Rex, there's just no way Mrs Pteranodon would ever keep Buddy around.

I dunno, raise the T-Rex up and have it be able to protect you. Classic Lion King type story there with Timon & Pumbaa using Simba. ;)

Mrs Pteranodon just gave buddy a loving family. Love works miracles. ;-)

And, apart from the fiction, it's good. My daughter learned that flowers didn't exist yet in the Jurassic.

This is definitely covered in one of the episodes. I believe there is a song called "that's not a dinosaur!"

Not sure if this helps with your platform, but those are both available on the PBS Kids Video app.
