Uncovering The Mysteries Of What Killed The Dinosaurs

Narrated by Dan Aykroyd, follow paleontologists as they explore Canada's prehistoric past to uncover the mystery of what killed the dinosaurs. Two teams are digging for fossils in an effort to understand the mass extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs 66 million years ago. The McGill University team heads to Grasslands National Park in Saskatchewan to uncover the remains of some of the last dinosaurs, including the Edmontosaurus. In Alberta, the Tier team searches for the first-ever Arrhinoceratops skeleton. As the teams work in extreme conditions, they uncover evidence of dinosaur adaptation to changing environments and climate. The search leads to exciting discoveries, including bird-like dinosaur bones and plant fossils that show how the world was shifting before the asteroid impact.

Dinosaur Extinction: What Caused It?

Scientists have long searched for the cause of dinosaur extinction, with many believing a catastrophic asteroid impact was responsible. However, some experts argue that this is only part of the story. A research team is exploring the ocean floor near the Yucatán impact crater, hoping to uncover clues that could explain the true cause of the dinosaurs' demise. While the asteroid impact is a significant factor, some scientists suggest that volcanic activity, land shifts, and a drop in global sea levels may have weakened the dinosaurs long before the asteroid struck.

The Hidden World of Lake Garda

High in the northern peaks of Upper Italy, a massive geological transformation began twenty thousand years ago. The melting glaciers of the Ice Age carved out deep valleys, leaving behind scars in the terrain that formed spectacular bodies of water. Today, Lake Garda stands as the largest of these watery jewels, showcasing a dramatic contrast where harsh alpine environments meet a warm Mediterranean lifestyle. From the vertical mountain cliffs and treacherous historic roads to the isolated private islands that have stayed in family lines for generations, this landscape holds secrets of both survival and ancient engineering. Millennia of human presence remain etched into the shores, from prehistoric village ruins hiding ancient gold to the massive fortified medieval castles built directly over the water. This is the story of how nature and human ambition shaped Italy's most famous natural wonder.
