The reigning superstar of the prehistoric world is the giant Brontosaurus. No other monster could have been more misunderstood. But now scientists put a new face on this ancient beast and dramatically alter its public image.
220 million years ago during the late Triassic period life on earth was undergoing a dramatic change, the pace of evolution was quickening. The age of the dinosaurs had begun. One of the most vicious predators ever known was Coelophysis.
They called it Tyrannosaurus rex, the ultimate terminator. 6 tons of bone-crunching bad dreams, the undisputed king of the dinosaurs. There has never been a serious challenger to its crown, until now.
65 million years ago an object from space hurtled toward planet Earth at 150000 miles per hour. An impact had triggered a disaster unlike any ever conceived by man.
When it comes to animals nature is the mother of invention. After the extinction of the dinosaurs life experimented with some weird and wonderful combinations and produced a variety of terrifying monsters.
