About this episode
The episode discusses the misconception about the extinction of dinosaurs and the emergence of new dinosaur-like creatures after their demise.
If you ask the average person when the dinosaurs rule ended, they would say 66 million years ago when that big ol mean asteroid struck. But in truth, this may not really be all that right...seeing that not so long after their demise a new group of dinosaurs emerged, that caused their own share of terror (pun intended).
