Giant of the skies - The Early Cretaceous Earth

• The Early Cretaceous Earth was home to the
  largest animals ever to fly. But on the ground,
  life was changing too

Spirits of the ice forest -dinosaurs at the poles

• Modern reptiles are cold blooded. However, a
  series of startling finds suggests there may have
  been dinosaurs living at the poles

Land of the giants - South America in the
Cretaceous

• Around 100 million years ago, South America was
  home to the biggest dinosaur that has ever walked
  the Earth. Argentinosaurus

The Giant Claw - the Mongolian Desert of the
Late Cretaceous

• Seventy-five million years ago, the Mongolian
  desert was home to dinosaurs of all shapes and
  sizes.

Death of a dynasty

• At the end of the Cretaceous Period, 65 million
  years ago, all the dinosaurs died out. Why this
  happened is one of the most frequently asked -
  and intriguing - questions in palaeontology.
