Welcome to the new crocodile Cretaceous...complete with tiny buck-toothed crocs, dog-like crocs, and terrifying triple-fanged nightmares that probably galloped after dinosaurs. Join paleontologist Paul Serenos intense scientific journey to breathe life into the these long extinct terrors -- and recreate a lost world few even imagined existed.
