Watch some chilling episodes which will shed light on some of the greatest creatures that ever existed beginning tonight
|
Be prepared for an action-packed holiday season with the National Geographic Channel’s ‘The Real Jurassic’ which will bring to light, two of the most important dinosaur discoveries in recent times – a partially impact dino mummy and a mass dinosaur grave.
Journey back to the Jurassic period and beyond, as National Geographic Channel reveals new information that begins to fill in a virtual black hole in dinosaur evolution and opens a rare window on how they lived.
In “Dino Autopsy” on December 24 at 10 p.m., join top palaeontologists in the United States as they uncover the rocky tomb of 67-million-year-old dinosaur “Dakota”, one of the most complete dino mummies ever found. “Dino Death Trap” on December 25 at 10 p.m., get to see groundbreaking revelations, including the discovery of new species of dinosaurs and unusual insights into their lives. In what is called the “Pit of Death” in China, skeletons have been found stacked one on top of the other, piled four and five deep, including T-Rex’s great-great grandfather — Guanlong.
How did the skeletons end up together, frozen in time for 160 million years?
With very few fossils ever found, the mid-Jurassic period has been a frustrating blank spot in dinosaur records – until now.
Allowing palaeontologists to see how each new dinosaur fits into the family tree, Dino Death Trap helps to complete the great jigsaw puzzle of the dinosaur record that has been missing vital pieces.
In “Quest for Dragons” on December 26 at 10 p.m., find out why the dragon is such a powerful part of countless myths and legends, from the dawn of civilization to the 21st Century.
In “Super Predators” on December 27 at 10 p.m., find out with palaeontologist Steve Wroe that prehistoric Australia was a unique habitat where nature was at its peak in tooth and claw; a harsh world dominated by a whole range of fantastic creatures.
In “Sky Monsters” on December 28 at 10 p.m., watch the profile of the natural history of pterosaurs by examining the work of some leading palaeontologists.
