Product Description: The first meat-eating predator had a skull the size of a person's hand and the last had a head so huge it supported nine-inch teeth and an indomitable reputation as the fiercest creature to walk the continents. The evolution from Eoraptor to Tyrannosaurus is gleefully traced in this 67-minute video, beginning with the segment called Rise of the Predators, which takes a look at the earliest dinosaurs to use an upright stance and grasping forearms to catch and eat their dinner. Carnosaurs examines some of the reasons the carnivores, which remained the size of today's large land mammals for millions of years, suddenly--in geologic time--grew 30 times as large to keep up with their fast-growing prey. Finally, The Legendary Tyrannosaurus Rex asks the question whether the "universal symbol of rampant destruction and blood-chilling terror" was simply a giant prehistoric vulture, as one paleontologist posits. Narrator Ben Gazzara reports with relish that other scientists scoff at this notion. Their objections center around a T. rex skeleton found with the tooth of another embedded within, suggesting that not only did these "lizard kings" take down their prey, they killed one another. Old Hollywood clips of rampaging Tyrannosaurs and clear graphics of the continental shifts that affected the predators help to make this a fun and informative installment of the Learning Channel's Paleo World series. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Customer Reviews
Boring but becomes interesting
Wow!! A very interesting documentary of dinosaur predators. You know, to think about it in this film it showed some models dinosaurs which much looked like fake, little more fake than the dinos in Jurassic Park film. Although this tiny bit boring had a lot of explanation, it'll be very interesting to you when you listen. First part of this film is about small dromaeosaurs, the raptor-like dinosaurs. Second part it's about Carnosaurus which shows about the other large carnivorous dinosaurs including Carnosaurus. The last part is about the legends of T-rex which also includes other dinosaurs who lived during that time. But if you want some more action, amazing, fabulous and more eye-popping documentary, try "Walking With Dinosaurs".
