Flying Monsters 3D ~ Documentary Trailer
For thousands of years, humans have believed that there were once flying monsters. Such creatures became mythologized, with stories about them shared around the world. But could they have really existed? About 220 million years ago dinosaurs were on the rise to dominating the Earth. But another group of reptiles was about to make an extraordinary leap—control of the skies. They were the pterosaurs—after insects, the first animals ever to fly. The story of how and why these mysterious creatures took to the air is more fantastical than any fiction. Sir David Attenborough, the world's leading naturalist, sets out to uncover the truth about the enigmatic pterosaurs, working with scientists and engineers to understand the incredible story of their evolution. In many ways the story of the pterosaur is the story of every creature that has ever flown. Pioneering scientific techniques have revealed new details about these creatures, from miraculous discoveries in the pterosaur embryo showing how they might have flown from birth, to CT scans of their skeletons that resolve mysteries that have perplexed scientists for decades. But it is their ability to fly that made pterosaurs revolutionary. When a lizard the size of a giraffe could "defy gravity," it calls into question the very physics of flight itself. How and why did pterosaurs fly? Driven by the information he finds and the data he collects, Attenborough starts to piece together the evidence of a true flying enigma.
