The Orphan
An orphaned baby triceratops must outwit a deadly T. rex. Today, paleontologists are uncovering her remains, allowing us to bring her story to life with stunning VFX.
Sixty-six million years ago, an orphaned baby triceratops roamed the lush world of Laramidia, alone and vulnerable. Stalked by the fearsome Tyrannosaurus rex, the youngster relied on her wits and diminutive size to survive.
Today, paleontologists in Montana are uncovering her fossils, allowing us to imagine her life and the dangers she faced. Stunning VFX recreate her encounters, from escaping a giant pterosaur to a heart-stopping face-off with T. rex, bringing her story vividly to life.
