The new documentary series by Steven Spielberg, The Dinosaurs, is capturing attention not only for its impressive production but also for its uncommon scientific rigor in this type of representation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unlike what has been seen in <\/strong>the Jurassic Park franchise, the series presents<\/a> a grassless environment, an aspect that may seem careless<\/strong>, but actually reflects the true era in which these animals lived<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The landscapes shown in The Dinosaurs mainly include land and lush trees, which corresponds to recent paleobotanical research. Until just 20 years ago, no grass fossils dating back more than 113 million years had been discovered, much later than the extinction of the dinosaurs, which occurred 65 million years ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This finding underscores that, in the age of dinosaurs, the vast fields covered with grass, which are common today, simply did not exist<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThose people are wrong<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
