Have you ever wondered what life was like when dinosaurs roamed the planet?

Well a new series takes a look back at late cretaceous age 66 million years ago, to see how dinosaurs lived in our seas, skies and on land.

Presented by Sir David Attenborough, Prehistoric Planet series used CGI and even filmed in real-life locations to create the series and follow the lives of dinosaurs millions of years ago.

The team Prehistoric Planet may have used CGI to create the dinosaurs, but what about their poo?

Well, TV producer Paul Thompson came to Newsround HQ to teach Nina how the team made their own dino poo.

The film crew wanted to show Deinocheirus, a huge herbivorous dinosaur that "would have been fantastic at distributing nutrients all over his habitat through his poo", according to Paul.

This is hard to show, as Deinocheirus is extinct so the team created their own dino poo for the show.

The made-up poo was created for a mix of brown sauce, peanut butter, water, marmite, seeds, spinach, chocolate sauce and wheat biscuits.

The measurements are a bit flexible, but you mix them all together, blend and there you have it!

With thanks to Apple TV.
