What Killed The Dinosaurs?: The 66 Million Year Mystery

2024• 44 minPG

Synopsis

In Saskatchewan and Alberta, palaeontologists investigate the last days of Edmontosaurus and ARrhinoceratops to understand the mass extinction event 66 million years ago.

Synopsis

Palaeontologists in Saskatchewan and Alberta investigate the mass extinction event that occurred 66 million years ago, which led to the demise of the dinosaurs. In Saskatchewan, researchers trace the last footprints of the Edmontosaurus, a massive herbivorous dinosaur, while in Alberta, they search for the rare horned dinosaur, Arrhinoceratops. The documentary examines whether this extinction was caused by a single catastrophic event, such as an asteroid impact, or a series of gradual environmental changes affecting the planet.
