    When Crocs Ate Dinosaurs

    Available on VOD until December 9

    For a long time, the Age of Reptiles seemed to belong only to its "stars," the dinosaurs -- but not anymore. Thanks to strange fossils coming out of the Sahara and other places, we now know that it was a world full of bizarre and terrifying crocodiles as well -- ones that not only rubbed shoulders with the dinosaurs -- they sometimes ate them. 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.

    Search for the Amazon Headshrinkers

    Available on VOD until December 9

    Terrifying legends from the Amazon tell of Indian headshrinkers who would shrink an enemy's head to render the vengeful soul powerless. Now, NGC has exclusive U.S. access to 45-year-old archive footage captured by explorer Edmundo Bielawski, purportedly the only known footage that shows the process of an actual - recently deceased - human head being shrunk. Author and explorer Piers Gibbon heads deep into the Amazon jungle in an attempt to trace Bielawskis 1960s journey and find the tribe.
