From the deadliest killers to the biggest and strangest beasts, Planet Dinosaur uses the latest CGI
and cutting-edge research to bring to life a new and terrifying world of dinosaurs.

2. Feathered Dragons
The second episode of the documentary series takes a look at bizarre and extraordinary feathered
dinosaurs, many of which have only just been discovered. These feathered beasts are revolutionising
our understanding of life on Earth as they blur the boundaries between what we know of dinosaurs and
birds. China sits at the heart of the feathered dinosaur discoveries and is the home of one of the
most unusual discoveries on Earth: the epidexipteryx. Only the size of a pigeon, this predator was
the most bird-like of any dinosaur and is the first known case of ornamental feathers. But feathers
were not just confined to the small. From caudipteryx to sinosauropteryx and the 8-metre-long
gigantoraptor, feathers may have been used for flight, for insulation or even to intimate and
attract. These dinosaurs not only hint at how animals might have developed flight, but also suggest
that dinosaurs may still live among us today, as birds.
