Plot Synopsis

By combining the talents of the world's best dinosaur illustrators and animators with the latest paleontological research, this four-part series peers into the private lives and strange behaviors of dinosaurs, including the exotic mating dances of Gigantoraptor, the inner workings of T-Rex's nuclear family, and the underwater birthing of a huge marine reptile, Mosasaurus. The program also introduced new creatures, like a Jurassic flying squirrel named Volaticotherium and Beelzebufo, a frog that was so big it could eat dinosaurs. Discovery originally planned to air back-to-back episodes on consecutive Sundays in September 2011, but rescheduled the last two episodes from 9/11 to Tuesday, September 13, 2011 and aired them on Science Channel instead.
