Could theropods survive the Cenozoic of South America? Some of prehistory's most powerful apex predators travel to the Cenozoic to test their survival skills in a world ruled by mammals. Maip, Carnotaurus, Giganotosaurus, Aucasaurus, and Irritator will face each epoch of the Cenozoic with its dangers, climatic shifts, and prey items. Will they thrive...or be eaten alive?
