March Highlights
1. The Truth Behind the Jurassic World: What It Really Looked Like
What comes to mind when you hear the term “Jurassic”?
If you think of the well-known Hollywood dinosaur franchise, you likely envision a lush environment inhabited by fearsome Tyrannosauruses, fierce Velociraptors, and magnificent Triceratopses coexisting. While this vivid depiction is captivating, it is far from accurate. None of these species roamed the Earth during the actual Jurassic Period, and tropical forests didn’t exist either.

2. A New Menacing Dinosaur in “Jurassic World: Dominion”
Intimidating. Enormous. Frightening.
A previously unseen gigantic carnivorous dinosaur is set to appear in _Jurassic World: Dominion_, the sixth chapter of the Jurassic Park series.
This latest addition to the blockbuster lineup is one of the largest carnivorous predators ever documented. Scientists estimate it could reach lengths of 12 to 13 meters (39 to 43 ft), placing it on par with the franchise's star, Tyrannosaurus rex. A spectacular showdown between these two colossal predators is anticipated, and fans around the globe are already speculating on which beast will prevail!

Strange sharks with manta ray-like wings glided through ancient oceans 90 million years ago, ankylosaurs searched the ground for sustenance and protection, a dinosaur track site spanning over 9,000 square meters is in need of preservation, and scientists may have unearthed the oldest titanosaur ever!
These are just a few of the remarkable discoveries made in the field of paleontology over the past month. This March, paleontologists released numerous studies, identified several new species, and proposed exciting hypotheses about the biology and behavior of many extinct creatures.

Special Featured Story
This month’s featured story was originally published in October 2020 and is titled _‘The Dinosaur That Went Extinct Twice’._
Few prehistoric beings are as emblematic as the Brontosaurus, known as the mighty “thunder lizard.” Its evocative name and colossal size have made it a staple in popular culture, solidifying its status as one of the most renowned dinosaurs.
However, despite its fame, scientists dismissed its existence for over a century. Explore the perplexing tale of the classification of this iconic dinosaur here.
The aim of Tales of Prehistory is to present distinctive stories that will educate, entertain, and inform readers about the remarkable history of our planet. We target readers who understand that grasping the complexity of today’s life requires an appreciation of our planet's past.
We look forward to bringing you more captivating stories next month. Stay tuned!
