Time of the titans - dinosaurs of the Jurassic
  • At the beginning of the Jurassic, dinosaurs
    started getting bigger

A cruel sea - when reptiles ruled the waves
  • The Mesozoic era truly was the age of giants.
    While huge dinosaurs dominated the land, large
    marine reptiles ruled the seas.

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.
