Hey all... is Anyone watching this?
http://www.history.com/minisites/jurassic-fight-club
This is Such a FUN show to watch. it's basically CSI for different fossil digs all around the world. They take dig sites, study the bones and everything to figure out how certain battles Might have taken place.
So far, we've had 4 episodes...
JURASSIC FIGHT CLUB: CANNIBAL DINOSAUR
Majungatholus versus Majungatholus. Scientists uncover the first authentic case of dinosaur cannibalism. Paleontologists look deep into the brain cavity to give science new insight into their behavior, then by studying the behaviors of modern animals, experts recreate a scenario of what occurred when a male Majungatholus went in search of a mate, but found a non-receptive female who was more interested in protecting her young, than mating.
JURASSIC FIGHT CLUB: T-REX HUNTER
Tyrannosaurus Rex was the most feared predator on earth, but to one particular dinosaur, he was prey. A discovery in Montana reveals the broken and fractured bones of a juvenile T-Rex, and the teeth of its attacker. Experts measuring the size and shape of the teeth are able to identify the attacker as Nanotyrannus. As more bones emerged, paleontologists get an unprecedented look into 65 million year old battle and help answer questions about the origin of Nanotyrannus, the “Tiny Tyrant”.
JURASSIC FIGHT CLUB: GANG KILLERS
The bird-like predator Deinonychus takes on the large plant-eating dinosaur called Tenontosaurus. Scientists give a never before seen look into how these animals moved, fought and behaved and recreate what happened when a pack of deadly raptors took on an adversary more than twice their own size.
JURASSIC FIGHT CLUB: BLOODIEST BATTLE
Allosaurus and Ceratosaurus go at each other at a prehistoric watering hole that became the scene of one of the bloodiest battles in paleo- history. Scientists uncover more than 15,000 bones and discover where multiple dinosaur species fought to the death under the intense heat of a Jurassic drought.
I absolutely love this. It combines my love for Forensics AND new dinosaur theories to look at. Plus it grosses the family out with all the blood and eating-stuff-alive. Next week's episode is going to be a battle between Megalodon (giant shark) and Brygmophyseter ('biting sperm whale')
