Monster of the Arctic

You've heard about the remarkable find by University of Oslo Natural History Museum paleontologists of a monstrous prehistoric creature, aptly named "Predator X." Said to make a T-Rex "look like a puppy," the find has captured the world's attention.

Sunday, March 29, The History Channel will broadcast a two-hour special from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. ET that follows the research from the earliest stages when researchers assessed the area where the dig occurred. Predator X was found on the archipelago of Svalbard which is 800 miles from the North Pole. It might not be simply the finding of a huge new creature, but an entirely new species from the era of dinosaurs.

Such a discovery impacts our knowledge of evolution and the life before our own age, creating a better understanding of the world as we know it. No doubt, it will also inspire a fair share of horror movies and sci-fi TV episodes.
