But with no ability to gain height,
the only way is down.
Microraptor's long feathers mean
it can barely walk, much less run.
Sinornithosaurus has no such problem.
On the forest floor,
the tables are turned.
Microraptor has a fortunate escape.
Killer dinosaurs dominated
the land, the trees,
and had even taken to the air.
But by the middle of the Cretaceous
period, things were changing.
A new breed of killers was emerging.
These were the famed Tyrannosaurs.
Formidable hunter-killers that
swept aside almost all other predators.
Carnivorous dinosaurs that remained
were forced to adapt,
sometimes going to extreme lengths.
One such group was
the bizarre Therizinosaurs.
In 2009, the most complete skeleton
found so far was described.
It lived in New Mexico
(GROWLING)
These swamps are home to Zunityrannus,
a mid-sized Tyrannosaur.
And they're also home
to this weird creature,
Nothronychus.
It's actually a close relative
of the Tyrannosaur,
but with one major difference.
Nothronychus has given up eating meat.
(GROWLING)
(ROARING)
Therizinosaurs had been
a mystery for decades,
known only from tantalising fragments.
That all changed with
the discovery of Nothronychus.
It gave us our clearest look
at this strange group of dinosaurs.
It walked upright on short, stocky legs,
it had wide hips and a long neck.
these weren't the teeth of a killer.
Far from its ferocious
Tyrannosaur cousins,
this pot-bellied dinosaur
had evolved into a strict vegetarian.
But armed with viciously long claws
on its forearms,
it was by no means defenceless.
(GROWLING)
Nothronychus has easy access to food.
(GROWLS)
Nothronychus thrives here
because it doesn't compete
with the Tyrannosaurs.
But just because
you're not competing for food
doesn't mean you're not seen as food.
(GROWLING)
Over the next few million years,
Tyrannosaurs evolved,
getting bigger and more deadly.
They developed
into the ultimate predators
and dominated virtually
all of Asia and North America.
The most famous of these
might be T-Rex,
but it was just the last
in a long line of giant killers.
North America was home
to the original giant Tyrannosaur,
Daspletosaurus.
Its effectiveness as a killer
is clear from its anatomy.
It's massive, with a huge, strong skull
and a powerful, muscular neck.
Forward-facing eyes make
tracking moving prey easy.
but with these giant Tyrannosaurs,
it's all about the bite.
Daspletosaurus,
with a bite force unmatched
by any other dinosaur in the region.
This is a killer in a
completely different league.
