T. rex — The Last Days of a Prehistoric King

T. rex vanished after the asteroid impact—so why did some of its dinosaur relatives survive?

Explore the last days of Tyrannosaurus rex and the prehistoric world that sustained it. This cinematic paleontology documentary follows fossil evidence, the Chicxulub impact, and the disruption of ancient ecosystems to investigate why a formidable predator disappeared while some bird lineages endured.

Discover what a healed hadrosaur injury reveals about T. rex hunting, how reduced sunlight affected plants and prey, what population estimates suggest about its lost history, and how habitat, diet, and body size may have influenced bird survival. From the forests of the Late Cretaceous to the birds outside our windows, follow the connections between extinction and the life that continued.

Visual scenes are illustrative reconstructions, including AI-generated imagery. Uncertain appearances and proposed survival mechanisms are presented as interpretations rather than directly observed events.
