Synopsis

For thousands, or even millions of years, they ruled the food chain, and they still fascinate us today. How did they win evolution's race, and what brought their reign to an end?

We travel back in time to uncover the secrets of nature's ultimate hunters, from saber-toothed cats and mega-jawed marine beasts to one tyrannical king with tiny arms and world-dominating bite force.

How did they conquer evolution's toughest challenges, and why did some disappear while others endure?
