its been since 2013, I lived in singapore and I was 7 or 8, oh and It was japanese only the creatures were in English, Im Indian so I can only speak a bit of Hindi, a smaller chunk of Tamil and I mainly speak (and predominantly) english and a little bit of German, Hungarian, dutch, spanish and Italian after I moved to the US, so I cant really recall the name as you can obviously see Japanese is not in my long list of languages. It never had an English translation, I only saw it once on Vimeo before it was deleted, 
The Show had 4 epsidoes, one on Triassic animals the second on Cetiosauriscus and Machimosaurus, one on a unnamed Japanese plesiosaur and one on t-rex and tricerotops which had troodon and possibly if I recall right Saurornitholestes. Thats really all of them, I think due to the weird animation it was a home project or it was really made by a company. It was inaccurate but still good to watch, I think it had some dinosaur king music

1. Funny that you mention it, i am dutch AKA from The Netherlands.

2. too bad, this sounded like an interesting and fun documentary to watch. Of course i wouldn't understand a thing what they were saying, but that's no problem by my definition.

Yeah, I can only speak a little (i actually knew you were dutch just but the way you talked and the fact you have it listed on your profile) 

Yeah, it was fun to watch, a bit weird in some parts, but its okay
