Transport yourself back to the time when dinosaurs inhabited our continent -- and relive a fascinating 150 million years of evolution! Using state-of-the-art computer animation paired with live-action backgrounds, When Dinosaurs Roamed America incorporates the latest scientific findings to show you how dinosaurs lived and died right in our own backyard.
As a young male of a Daspletosaurus pack, it's Das' job to herd unsuspecting prey towards his fellow hunters. But he's easily distracted and ruins several hunts – getting him in deep trouble with his mother, the pack leader. When a distant volcano threatens eruption, the dinosaurs are caught in a dangerous spot – unless Das can lead them to safety.
The world is a very dangerous place for tiny hatchlings like Alpha, a female saltasaur. Follow Alpha as she leaves her nesting site and begins life on the run from a deadly band of aucasaurs. Years later, she returns home to breed – and learns there are worse things to fear than a hungry aucasaur.
Pod – a pyroraptor – finds himself alone in the world after his sisters die in a tidal wave that also sweeps him out to sea. After landing on an island populated by dwarf-sized dinosaurs, Pod discovers that he's become the apex predator. But, as a gregarious and social pack animal, Pod learns that it's lonely at the top of the food chain.
When a velociraptor named White Tip loses the rest of her pack, she must struggle to survive in the desert on her own. In time, she locates a new hunting party – as well as a mate – only to find that her hardships are just beginning in the harsh desert environment.
250 million years ago, dinosaurs conquered South America in an unexpected way in the wake of the worst natural disaster in history.
In western North America 68 million years ago, prehistoric Montana bore little resemblance to today. The rainy, tropical conditions created the perfect environment for the evolution of the most sophisticated and bizarre group of dinosaurs the world has ever seen.
On a primeval river in the heart of Africa lives the legend of a creature called Mokele Mobombe. Like the Loch Ness monster, it's awesome and mysterious.
Preserved in rock in the remote Australian outback, scientists have uncovered the largest dinosaur track way on Earth.
Far beneath the ruins of Europe's glorious civilisations lies an even more ancient world when dinosaurs were kings. From the Isle of Wight in England to Los Hoyas in Spain, leading palaeontologists trace the rise and fall of the European dinosaurs.
Documentary that explores the latest in a series of paleological discoveries in China which support the hypothesis that dinosaurs evolved from birds.
Join paleontologist Jack Horner on a journey into the arid badlands of Montana where more T-Rex skeletons have been uncovered than any other place on earth. Follow Horner -- who found five T-Rex dinosaurs here in a single summer -- as he scrutinizes their arms, large olfactory lobes, tiny eye sockets and unique teeth, to gain insight into whether T-Rex was a ferocious predator or an opportunistic scavenger.
The fossil remains of young dinosaurs are very rare. This past fall there was thus great excitement in the palaeontological community over the discovery, in the hills of Argentina, of the nesting grounds of large plant-eating sauropod dinosaurs.
Mammoths have always fascinated people. From the creators of the earliest known cave paintings and carvings to the 20th century practitioners of modern art and even to today's tourists, humans have tried to grasp the essence of this magnificent creature - its enormous size, strength and beauty and its coexistence with and importance to humans. In 1994, palaeontologists made the remarkable discovery of a pygmy mammoth on Santa Rosa Island, the most complete collection of its kind in the world.
