Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure

Journey back to the Late Cretaceous, when a great inland sea divided North America in two. National Geographic’s new giant-screen film, Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure, weaves together spectacular photorealistic animation with standout finds from paleontological digs around the world—treasures that shed light on the film’s incredible cast of characters. The film follows a family of Dolichorhynchops, also known informally as “Dollies,” as they traverse ancient waters populated with saber- toothed fish, prehistoric sharks and giant squid. On their journey the Dollies encounter other extraordinary sea creatures: lizard-like reptiles called Platecarpus that swallowed their prey whole like snakes; Styxosaurus with necks nearly 20 feet long and paddle- like fins as large as an adult human; and at the top of the food chain, the monstrous Tylosaurus, a predator with no enemies. Merging ultra-high-resolution 3-D graphics with compelling imagery and powerful storytelling, the film is an unforgettable prehistoric adventure.
