Wie ein 2.000.000 Jahre langer Regen die Dinosaurier erschuf

For 30 million years, dinosaurs were the ultimate losers of evolution. No bigger than dogs, they hid in the bushes and lived in constant fear of the planet's true rulers: gigantic, running crocodiles. But then an apocalyptic event changed the world forever. In this documentary, we travel back to the Middle Triassic period on the supercontinent Pangaea. We show how a massive volcanic eruption triggered the Carnian Pluvial Event—a continuous downpour that lasted for up to two million years. This endless monsoon transformed deserts into deadly swamps, wiped out the ancient rulers, and paved the way for the age of dinosaurs. Discover why the small, weak dinosaurs survived this catastrophe, how crocodiles hunted in packs, and which nightmarish amphibians lurked in the rivers of prehistoric times.
