***Monsters Resurrected*** is an American entertain series that was created for the Discovery Channel. This program reconstructs animals from the Cenozoic and Mesozoic eras. It's also called as ***Mega Beasts***.

## Plot 
### *Terror Bird* 
The famous terror bird *Titanis* was depicted as a mortal predator that competed with the smaller but equally aggressive Edward's wolf and *Smilodon*. The force and power of the neck muscles is shown by a rendering of the beast hunting a *Hipparion* in the beginning of the episode. To kill it, it drives its beak into the vertebral column, severing the spinal cord. Another example of this power is shown when the creature kills a species of ground sloth called *Glossotherium*, using the same method.

### *T-Rex of the Deep* 
In this episode, the *Tylosaurus* is depicted as the main predator of the Cretaceous seas, competing with *Cretoxyrhina* and *Styxosaurus*, eventually driving the former to extinction. It's also shown competing with other *Tylosaurus* and killing them.

### *Biggest Killer Dino* 
*Spinosaurus* is depicted as the apex predator of its time, slaughtering *Rugops*, *Carcharodontosaurus* and *Sarcosuchus*. It fights with a sexless *Carcharodontosaurus* and emerges victorious by smacking its face with a swipe of its claw. The beast gets attacked by a *Sarcosuchus*, and quickly kills the crocodile with a bite to the neck before disemboweling her. During the heat, the theropod attempts to steal a dead *Aegyptosaurus* from a pack of female *Rugops*, but their numbers are unstoppable; one of the creatures bites the spinosaur's claw, while another one clamps her jaws on its massive tail. Afterwards, the *Spinosaurus* slams to the ground, breaking its neutral spine and dying. The pack feasts on it.

### *Great American Predator* 
In this episode, the *Acrocanthosaurus* is depicted as an apex predator, strong enough to kill prey ten times its size, such as the herbivorous dinosaur *Paluxysaurus*. Afterward, a young *Acrocanthosaurus* is shown being driven off its meal by a pack of *Deinonychus* and being forced to hunt harder prey, such as the ankylosaurid *Sauropelta*.

### *Bear Dog* 
This episode features the bear-dog *Amphicyon* as the new top predator of North America, able to defeat the entelodont *Daeodon* using its intelligence and smaller size to outcompete it. After five years of dominating the landscape, the bear-dog grows bigger, but then its nemesis *Epicyon* appears and competes with it. They begin to attack and slaughter the offspring in the burrow, and in the end, the canids outcompete and kill the new threats. 

### *Giant Ripper* 
In this episode, the people recreate *Megalania*. Hunting *Procoptodon* and *Diprotodon*, it almost had no competition, until the humans arrived. 

## Inaccuracies about *Bear Dog* replacements 
* A bear-dog called *Cynodictis* was meant to replace *Amphicyon* in the episode, but got cut in the process.
* *Archaeotherium* was also going to replace *Daeodon*, resulting in it getting removed from the series.
* *Epicyon* was going to be named as *Hesperocyon* or *Borophagus* during the production, but the two species got scrapped, with only *Epicyon* appearing.
