In Dinosaur Killer: Sandstorm, naturalist Steve Backshall describes how massive sandstorms may have been responsible for killing large numbers of dinosaurs by blinding and suffocating anything in its path. Gigantoraptor was particularly vulnerable since it was extremely protective of its eggs, which were often buried in the sand. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Deadly Dinosaurs, a documentary series in which host Steve Backshall is on the hunt for the deadliest animals to have walked the Earth — dinosaurs — exploring features of several species and putting their abilities to the test to reveal the raw power of these creatures.
In Dinosaur Killer: Floods, naturalist Steve Backshall shows how massive floods may have been responsible for killing large numbers of dinosaurs millions of years ago. Despite the size and power of dinosaurs, monsoon floods are believed to have killed many Centrosaurus dinosaurs, whose bodies did not allow for skilled swimming. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Deadly Dinosaurs, a documentary series in which host Steve Backshall is on the hunt for the deadliest animals to have walked the Earth — dinosaurs — exploring features of several species and putting their abilities to the test to reveal the raw power of these creatures.
In Kimmerosaurus, the Diving Dinosaur, naturalist Steve Backshall explores how this aquatic creature used its unique features to hunt. Plus, check out how the actions of Kimmerosaurus left huge trenches in our modern-day environment. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Deadly Dinosaurs, a documentary series in which host Steve Backshall is on the hunt for the deadliest animals to have walked the Earth — dinosaurs — exploring features of several species and putting their abilities to the test to reveal the raw power of these creatures.
In Did Toxic Gas Kill the Dinosaurs?, naturalist Steve Backshall explains how invisible, toxic gas came to be a killer of dinosaurs millions of years ago. In addition to causing lava flows and forest fires, volcanic eruptions also produced fumes that were extremely deadly to dinosaurs. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Deadly Dinosaurs, a documentary series in which host Steve Backshall is on the hunt for the deadliest animals to have walked the Earth — dinosaurs — exploring features of several species and putting their abilities to the test to reveal the raw power of these creatures.
In Did Lethal Toxins Kill the Dinosaurs?, naturalist Steve Backshall discusses an extremely deadly toxin, Clostridium botulinum, that was likely responsible for the deaths of many dinosaurs millions of years ago. Even the smallest imaginable airborne particle of this toxin could have been devastating to a dinosaur. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Deadly Dinosaurs, a documentary series in which host Steve Backshall is on the hunt for the deadliest animals to have walked the Earth — dinosaurs — exploring features of several species and putting their abilities to the test to reveal the raw power of these creatures.
In Did Asteroids Kill the Dinosaurs?, naturalist Steve Backshall explains why scientists believe a lethal asteroid was the main cause of extinction of dinosaurs 66 million years ago. While most people know that dinosaurs were wiped out by an asteroid, many may not know that the asteroid alone didn't cause the extinction. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Deadly Dinosaurs, a documentary series in which host Steve Backshall is on the hunt for the deadliest animals to have walked the Earth — dinosaurs — exploring features of several species and putting their abilities to the test to reveal the raw power of these creatures.
In Was the T. Rex Both a Scavenger and a Hunter?, Ken Carpenter, curator of the Museum of Nature and Science, examines bones to discover whether the dinosaur they belonged to could have been killed by a T. rex.

Rex, Warrior or Wimp?, a documentary featuring interviews with T. rex experts from around the world and exploring the science behind the legend of the dinosaur we love to hate.
In Was the T. Rex a Scavenger?, a team from the University of Glasgow explains that T. rex dinosaurs may have been able to survive as scavengers. This video is excerpted from BBC's Horizon: T. Rex, Warrior or Wimp?, a documentary featuring interviews with T. rex experts from around the world and exploring the science behind the legend of the dinosaur we love to hate.
In Investigating T. Rex’s Teeth, Jack Horner, one of the world's most respected paleontologists, discusses how the teeth of T. rex were the wrong shape for it to be an effective predator.
