This is just a thread to talk about the Prehistoric Documentary called Monsters Resurrected, which is also known as Mega Beasts.
Here's a list of all the episode's.
Episode 1: Terror Bird
The terror bird Titanis was depicted as a mortal predator that competed with the smaller, but equally aggressive Smilodon, and Canis edwardii. The force and power of the neck muscles is shown by a rendering of the animal hunting a horse in the beginning of the episode. To kill it, it drives its beak into the vertebral column, severing the spinal cord. Another example of this power is shown when the creature kills a ground sloth, using the same method. At the end of the episode, the crew was discussing extinction in the terror bird, two million years ago, and their conclusion was it was out competed for food by Canis edwardii, as well as inability to adapt to climate change.
Animals Featured: Titanis, Smilodon, Canis edwardii, Glossotherium, Hipparion
Episode 2: T-rex Of The Deep
In this episode, the mosasaurs are depicted as the main predators of the Cretaceous seas, competing with the Ginsu sharks and plesiosaurs, eventually driving the former to extinction. It is also shown competing with and killing other mosasaurs.
Animals Featured: Tylosaurus, Cretoxyrhina, Elasmosaurus, Dolichorhynchops, Xiphactinus, Dallasaurus
Episode 3: Biggest Killer Dino
Spinosaurus is depicted as the apex predator at the time, killing Rugops, Carcharodontosaurus and Sarcosuchus. It fights with a Carcharodontosaurus and emerges victorious by smacking its face with a swipe of its claw. The Spinosaurus was shown being attacked by a Sarcosuchus. It quickly paralyzes the crocodile with a bite to the neck before disemboweling apart the dead crocodilian. During the heat, the Spinosaurus attempts to steal a dead titanosaur from a pack of Rugops, but their numbers are too great: one Rugops bites the Spino's claw, while another one clamps its jaws on his massive tail. Afterwards, the spinosaur slams to the ground, breaking its fin and dying. The pack then devours it, symbolizing the differing fates of the two species.
Animals Featured: Spinosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus, Rugops, Paralititan, Sarcosuchus
Episode 4: Great American Predator/Dinosaur King
In this episode, the Acrocanthosaurus is depicted as an apex predator, strong enough to kill prey ten times its size. Afterward, a young Acrocanthosaurus is shown being scared off by a pack of Deinonychus and being forced to hunt harder prey, like the ankylosaur Sauropelta.
Animals Featured: Acrocanthosaurus, Deinonychus, Paluxysaurus, Tenontosaurus, Sauropelta
Note: Can't find the whole episode isn't on youtube. So I can't post any part's.
Episode 5: Bear Dog
This episode features the Amphicyon ingens as the new top predator of North America, able to defeat the Daeodon using its intelligence and smaller size to outcompete it. After five million years of dominating the landscape, the bear dog grows bigger, but then the Epicyon appears and competes with Amphicyon. They begin to attack and kill the offspring in their burrows, and in the end both go extinct.
Animals Featured: Amphicyon, Daeodon, Epicyon, Moropus, Merychippus
Episode 6: Giant Ripper
In this episode they recreate the Varanus, the top predator of Australia for hundreds of thousands of years. Hunting the largest marsupials ever to evolve using its senses and venom to kill its prey, and it had almost no competition, until humans arrived. The episode also discusses the cryptozoological side about Megalania, ruling out if it could have survived until recent times. It also makes the claim that giant monitor lizards could evolve again if humans went extinct.
Animals Featured: Megalania, Thylacoleo, Diprotodon, Procoptodon
Animals name's in bold are the main animal focus in a episode.
