Premise

Welcome to the world of Chomp Squad, where dinosaurs never went extinct! Despite their considerable size difference, these dinos fit right in, happily working alongside humans in a mystical urban jungle called Chomp City. Most of the time things run smoothly here, but when there’s an emergency, nothing can match the power, brains, or bravery of the Chomp Squad: a heroic team of dinosaurs and humans who handle the fire, police, medical and emergency needs of Chomp City. Utilizing special skills, tricked-out gear, and—most importantly—true teamwork, this elite squad of heroes will chomp, stomp, and save the day.
