Dex is a 9-year-old artist, explorer, and "paleontologist in training". Like Dan, Trek, and Dana before him, Dex uses the Dino Field Guide and has the magical ability to see dinosaurs in the real world. But Dex envisions them a little differently. Thanks to his artistic eye and thirst for knowledge, Dex wants to reconsider how dinosaurs look, how they act, what they eat, and more! He is not afraid to get right into the action to do it. Fortunately, he's not alone in his quest — his neighbor Kayla is along for the ride and her love of rocks and geology makes her the perfect dino partner. Armed with their transforming dino backpacks, Dex and Kayla become dinosaurs to re-examine everything we think we know about prehistoric creatures, including the iconic Tyrannosaurus rex and Triceratops. Featuring 10 newly prehistoric creatures, Dino Dex continues the tradition of Emmy award-winning adventures, but with a twist.
