Planet Dinosaur - Series 1 Ep. 6 - The Great Survivors

Episode Info

Synopsis

This final episode explores dinosaur’s extraordinary ability to survive. From the bizarre Magyarsaurus, which showed an amazing adaptation to island life, to the weird Nothronychus, a carnivore that gave up meat eating. This astonishing capacity to evolve into ever more diverse and bizarre forms meant that dinosaurs, not only, spread throughout the world, but also, dominated life upon it for more than 160 million years. It was only an unprecedented extraterrestrial event that finally saw the end of planet dinosaur.
