In today's video, we will be taking a look at the natural history of this giant, delving deep into the prehistoric swamps it called home to learn how it lived, how it hunted, and, eventually, how it was discovered by paleontologists millions of years later. We will be travelling back in time to a period known as the Hauterivian, part of the Early Cretaceous period that saw the beginning of the golden age of dinosaur evolution.
