A creature that measured some 8 feet in length, its razor-shard claws were deadly weapons of protection for guarding its offspring from constant danger. Now join a daring expedition of scientists as they uncover a treasure trove of fossils, shattering long-held myths about this dinosaur's behavior.

However, they soon find many surprises in store, including disagreement as to what creature actually is the oldest on earth, from four wisecracking and argumentative cockroaches eavesdropping from a shelf!
