Dinosaur Train
.
Little Buddy, a Tyrannosaurus Rex, is a member of the Pteranodon family nest, but he's not sure what makes him belong to the family. He's also not sure what will happen when he grows into a big dinosaur and can no longer fit in the nest.
To help him find answers, the Pteranodons take a trip on the Dinosaur Train, venturing across the Mesozoic to visit Buddy's friend King Cryolophosaurus. The journey takes many twists and turns including the fact that King Cryolophosaurus is missing and in hiding. Will Buddy get the answers he's seeking?
