Plot
The series followed Dink, a dinosaur, and his four friends as they explore and dwell in the volcanic landscape of prehistory in a place called Green Meadow. Designed to help children navigate the world of friendship and making friends, the stories fostered positive behaviors such as caring about oneself and others, tolerance, ecology, problem-solving and teamwork. The second season introduced a weekly segment called "Factasaurus" that taught lessons and fun facts educating children about different dinosaur species.Characters
