154 million years back in the past, when Central Europe was a subtropical archipelago, voracious predatory dinosaurs, small, nimble mammals, and
the dwarfed giant dinosaur Europasaurus roamed the landscape in what is now Northern Germany. After years of research on well-preserved fossil
finds, this long-forgotten kingdom of animals and plants is being revived as part of a story of a young dinosaur.
