| Summary: |
The final episode explores new, bizarre and extraordinary dinos. These recent discoveries reveal the extraordinary ability of dinosaurs to adapt and survive... Feathered dinosaurs like the curious, buck-toothedEpidexipteryx took to the trees while the amazing four-winged Microraptor even conquered the air. These dinos have revolutionized our understanding, blurring the boundaries between dinosaurs and birds. Others adapted in other ways, the bizarre Magyarsaurus, showed an amazing adaptation to island life, whereas the weird pot-bellied Nothronychus, was a carnivore that gave up meat eating. This astonishing capacity to evolve into ever more diverse and bizarre forms meant that dinosaurs, not only spread throughout the world, but also dominated life upon it for more than 160 million years. It was only an unprecedented extraterrestrial event that finally saw the end of planet dinosaur. |
