Actor Dudley Moore lends his voice to the animated narrating globe "Spin" as he takes you back to the time when T-Rex and his dinosaur friends roamed the earth. In the absence of real film footage, National Geographic cleverly uses film clips, paleontologist interviews and rock music videos to provide an engaging look at these ancient reptiles and some of their modern-day relatives such as lizards, snakes and alligators. And in case you didn't think dinosaurs were creepy enough, you'll also make the acquaintance of some bats, maggots, spiders, ants and more creepy creatures of the world!
