The Mysteries of the Giants
2018 · Documentary
When a huge meteorite crashed into the earth 66 million years ago and caused the disappearance of the dinosaurs, some of the planet’s tiniest species survived the cataclysm, and—against all odds—eventually became some of the greatest giants to ever roam the earth. From the poles of the planet to the belly of the equator, this documentary sheds new light on four giant animals that are still a great mystery to science today: the Titanoboa snake, the Megalodon shark, the giant rhinoceros and the giant sloth.

Bigger Than T.Rex

A huge predator, the likes of which have never existed. Fangs as sharp as a blade. Mouth of incredible size. Powerful limbs. A variety of ideas come to mind. Well, of course, we are talking about the Spinosaurus - a spiked lizard that lives on the territory of modern North Africa, a hundred million years ago. The unimaginable structure of muscles, a giant body, distinguish a reptile from other representatives of the animal world of those times. The fossil of the alleged spinosaurus was discovered during excavations. Researchers are rushing to release the news. Images of the animal will be modeled using scanography, as a result of which it will be possible to recreate the true appearance of the ancient hunter. The results of the latest research surpass even the most daring assumptions.

Uncover the surprising ancient origins of mammals, a story that began long before the dinosaurs' reign. Surveying Earth's tumultuous past reveals how some of our earliest ancestors, the therapsids – creatures that looked like reptiles but were starting to develop mammalian traits – survived multiple global catastrophes. Through remarkable adaptations like burrowing and the emergence of warm-bloodedness, they forged a lineage that persevered against all odds. Fascinating fossil clues and cutting-edge science reveal how a small, resilient group of animals faced extinction events, outlived giants, and ultimately gave rise to the diverse world of mammals we know today, including us.
