'''''[[Prehistoric Monsters Revealed''']]'' (2008) is a [[TV Documentary]] by [[The History Channel]] focusing on a select number of weird [[Prehistoric Life|ancient creatures]], their anatomy, evolutionary relationships, and the environments they lived in. The constant [[Science Marches On|changes in paleontology]] are stressed throughout. Has pretty cheap effects for the scenes focusing on recreated animals.

=== The work provides examples of: ===
* [[Feathered Fiend]]: ''Velociraptor'', ''Therizinosaurus'' and ''Andalgalornis''.
* [[Giant Flyer]]: The pterosaurs.
Line 10:
* [[Sea Monster]]: ''Dunkleosteus'' and the mosasaurs.
* [[Shown Their Work]]: Paleo-science is explained in detail.
* [[Somewhere a Paleontologist Is Crying]]: The [[C GiCGI]] creatures aren't merely ''ugly'', they have totally wrong anatomy:
** Pronated hands on theropods. Even the animation of the raptor arm's skeletal anatomy shows the hand in this painfully incorrect position. In reality, the arm bones of most dinosaurs only allowed for very limited hand-articulation, and in the case of carnivorous dinosaurs, this caused their palms to constantly face each other.
** ''Giganotosaurus'' looking like a cheap ''T. rex'' knockoff, with a far too robust head. Oh, and it's billed as the largest theropod, two years after ''Spinosaurus'' was found to be larger.
