In Dino Death Trap, an extraordinary dinosaur find follows a team of palaeontologists in western China as they unearth a virtual black hole in dinosaur evolution. Led by Dr James Clark of George Washington University and Dr Xu Xing of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the team uncovers hundreds of exceptionally preserved dinosaur fossils, including new species that were astonishingly found stacked on top of one another in pits of death in the dry and desolate Junggar Basin. Preserved for 160 million years, a total of 400 specimens and around 40 different species, including bizarre ancestors of the T-Rex and the triceratops and an ancient crocodilian, were discovered in the pits. The scientists believe they may even have found the elusive missing link in the middle Jurassic, when dinosaur evolution went wild. Watch in awe as the amazing creatures are digitally brought back to life and we probe the mystery of how these dinosaurs lived and died.

  • @jackfantoe ...there is so much stupidity there, I can't even begin to say. What does it matter how big their equipment was? I'm sure they probably didn't look to an invisible deity - so far as I know, humans are the only ones who choose to blame gods for their problems rather than themselves. As for us being the next dinosaurs, everything successful goes extinct eventually. We happen to be hastening the process.

  • omgosh did dinosaurse have big dicks an cunts? did baby jesus love them to or did they have there own god ? are we the next dinosaurs?

  • If anybody could give me any fairly recent/up to date paleontology documentaries it would be greatly appreciated.

  • This isn't completely correct, very big sauropod-like dinosaurs already existed in the Triassic.

  • thank you thank you thank you! i been wanting to see this again ever since it ended i have been looking for this for months!
