(tentative) [Contents] / Part 1: The Kingdom of the Giant Dinosaurs, Gondwana -- The continent of Gondwana existed in the southern hemisphere during the age of the dinosaurs. Later, it split into South America, Africa, and Antarctica. In recent years, as research in the Southern Hemisphere has progressed, a series of discoveries have been made that have shaken the conventional wisdom of dinosaurology. Gigantic dinosaurs have been discovered one after another, including a 35-meter-long supergiant and a large carnivorous dinosaur with horns like demons. Why did dinosaurs become so huge? This film explores the mysteries of the dinosaurs of Gondwana through the mysterious drama of Haruka, a young girl who loves dinosaurs. Part 2: A New Scenario for the Extinction of the Dinosaurs -- The current theory is that the dinosaurs went extinct in one fell swoop due to global forest fires caused by a meteorite impact 66 million years ago, followed by cold weather and other factors. Now, however, evidence is beginning to emerge from parts of Gondwana, where a variety of giant dinosaurs once lived, in what is now the Southern Hemisphere, indicating that dinosaurs may have survived after the meteorite impact. The dinosaurs lived for hundreds of thousands of years, at most, through a series of generational changes. This article explores a new scenario for the extinction of the dinosaurs as envisioned by researchers.
