A British/Canadian children's show, the series follows the events at a paleontology themed summer camp in Alberta, Canada. A freak earthquake in the badlands briefly opens up an entrance to a LostWorld where [[LivingDinosaurs dinosaurs survive to the present day]]. A young, raptor-like dinosaur called Eno flees to the surface while chased by two rival predators called "Diggers". A second earthquake seals the entrance behind them and strands them at the surface. At the same time, a camp counselor named Lauren Slayton stumbles upon the Diggers and is saved by Eno. Across the season, she has to both protect Eno from prying eyes, keep the Diggers from reaching the camp; and see what ties might exist between the dinosaurs and her father's disappearance in the region years ago.

* HerbivoresAreFriendly: Surprisingly reversed with PredatorsAreMean--The Diggers are based on a mix of the herbivorous ankylosaurs and pachycephalosaurs, but they're the story's antagonists and much more hostile (though curiously, they're ''also'' depicted as carnivores, [[DownplayedTrope specifically insectivores]]).

* EvilAllAlong: [[spoiler:Dr. Aikens.]]

* LivingDinosaurs: The eponymous Dinosapiens.

* VegetarianCarnivore: Eno is an evolved raptor that eats leaves as well as meat.

* EvilPoacher: A pair of poachers are the VillainOfTheWeek in episode 5. They return in episode 14.
