David Attenborough brings to life, in unprecedented detail, the last days of the dinosaurs. Palaeontologist Robert DePalma has made an incredible discovery in a prehistoric graveyard: fossilised creatures, astonishingly well preserved, that could help change our understanding of the last days of the dinosaurs. Evidence from his site records the day when an asteroid bigger than Mount Everest devastated our planet and caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. Based on brand new evidence, witness the catastrophic events of that day play out minute by minute.

Investigate how an asteroid vanquished the dinosaurs 66 million years ago. Join scientists as they drill into the impact crater and, for the first time, reconstruct the hell on earth that unfolded in the minutes, hours and months after the impact.

Dinosaurs are very much alive -- at least in the mind of teenager Ally Hayden who shares her father's passion for paleontology. When a museum accident transports Ally on a surreal adventure back in time, she encounters people and makes discoveries that might help her solve the mystery of her father's newest fossil... and even comes face to face with the most dangerous apex predator on earth.

In 1985, visual effects supervisor Phil Tippett was commissioned to follow-up his short film "Prehistoric Beast" (1984) with new sequences from the late Cretaceous featuring new dinosaurs (Hadrosaurus, Deinonychus, Struthiomimus and Brontosaurus) for the CBS television documentary "Dinosaur!" (1985). Phil Tippett produced a 12-minute short film about the end of the age of the dinosaurs, which was re-edited and narrated over for the TV documentary.

Some hundred million years ago, crocodiles were the ruling T. rexes of the waters. They galloped on land, ambushed prey at the river's edge - even terrorized dinosaurs. These swift predators evolved through the ages into the modern crocs we know today. Now, armed with newly discovered prehistoric crocodile bones, Dr. Paul Sereno is determined to bring the ancient creatures to life - and tell their fantastic untold story. Learn about a croc that pursued prey across land, a supercroc that locked its jaws around dinosaurs, even a croc with a startlingly canine face. Blending art, forensics and biology, a team reanimates a lost world of strange Cretaceous crocs that paleontology forgot.

A fossil discovered in 2006 contains two nearly complete dinosaurs locked in battle: a triceratops and a carnivore.

The discovery of a giant crater in the floor of the Gulf of Mexico is a step closer to solving the question if an asteroid ended the age of dinosaurs.

Combining fact and informed speculation with cutting-edge computer graphics and animatronics effects, the series set out to create the most accurate portrayal of prehistoric animals ever seen on the screen.
