Dinosaurs Decoded is a 2009 TV Documentary from National Geographic Channel (although in some countries, it aired under the Discovery Channel logo) that focuses on some recent controversial theories concerning classic dinosaurs.Paleontologist Jack Horner and his colleagues explain to the dumbfounded viewers that a third of their beloved dinosaur kinds they grew up with didn't actually exist as valid genera/species, but really represented the different growth stages of a single dinosaur.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })

Artistic License – Biology: To quote Horner on Triceratops horns, "The last place you want a defense organ is on your head". Evidently, he's never heard of rhinos, buffalo, bison, goats, deer, antelope, etc.

Anachronism Stew: A mild case, what is obviously Dromaeosaurus is shown living with the later Triceratops, Pachycephalosaurus and Tyrannosaurus.

Artistic License – Paleontology: Needless to say, not everyone agrees with Horner's theories and the way he explains them in this program.

Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: The trope befalls T. rex itself: it is pitch black with a bright red face, similarly colored accents on its back and stripes on its tail. Male Triceratops have bright blue streaks on their body, and their frill is bright yellow with orange patterns on it. In a scene near the end of the program, Pachycephalosaurus is bright blue with an orange dome. Finally, there is a Dromaeosaurus that is blue with white spots. It appears briefly in two or three scenes.
