BBC One - Planet Dinosaur, Original Series, The Great Survivors

A look at dinosaurs' ability to survive and adapt in the face of adversity.

The documentary series explores dinosaurs' extraordinary ability to survive, and features the magyarosaurus, which showed an amazing adaptation to island life.

The final episode explores dinosaurs' extraordinary ability to survive. Featured dinosaurs include the bizarre magyarosaurus, which lived in the shadow of the biggest flying animal - hatzegopteryx - and showed an amazing adaptation to island life; and the weird nothronychus, a carnivore that gave up meat eating. 

This astonishing capacity to evolve into ever more diverse and bizarre forms meant that dinosaurs not only spread throughout the world, but also dominated life upon it for more than 160 million years. It was only an unprecedented extraterrestrial event that finally saw the end of planet dinosaur.
