What if the nonavian dinosaurs never went extinct? The Drakozoic Era is a speculative evolution project exploring an alternate timeline where the KPg asteroid didn't impact Earth, leaving the nonavian dinosaurs free to evolve and compete with one another. How will dinosaurs adapt to the hothouse Paleocene or the cold glacial events of the later Cenozoic? In this speculative evolution series, you'll encounter woolly tyrannosaurs, sauropod-sized hadrosaurs, and sledgehammer pachycephalosaurs all adapted for life in the Drakozoic Era: the Age of Dragons.

01:00: The Haimanian Period (The Age of Blood)
15:36: The Ymirian Period (The Age of Icy Titans)
20:43: The Nidavellirian Period (The Age of Forging)

![Acrocanthosaurus Appreciation Day
Acrocanthosaurus atokensis is a gigantic carcharodontosaurid theropod from the Early Cretaceous of North America. It was nearly as big as famous giants like Mapusaurus and Giganotosaurus, but is underrated in paleontology culture. Lets explore what makes Acrocanthosaurus such an awesome dinosaur.
