Spoilers ahead
Bill Mondy narrates a sweeping, globe-spanning account of life at the very end of the Cretaceous, where a cascade of dramatic events reshapes ecosystems across continents. The tale begins in the Pacific Northwest, during the Maastrichtian, where a Quetzalcoatlus suddenly spots an unguarded T. rex nest and sinks its beak into the vulnerable young. The father T. rex, drawn by a powerful olfactory cue, charges back to defend the nest, his acute sense of smell snapping him toward danger. The enormous winged predator’s flight becomes a liability in the forest, and a fierce confrontation results in the T. rex injuring the Quetzalcoatlus by biting its foot. The encounter continues as the Quetzalcoatlus pecks at the T.
