The lens sweeps across the primordial forests of ancient Patagonia, sixty-nine million years gone. The air hangs heavy with damp and the perfume of giant ferns. In a rare breach of the canopy, sunlight spills onto a cleared patch of earth. A tremor passes through the soil. From the deep shadows, a shape of pure predatory mass emerges: a two-tonne, twelve-foot-tall male Carnotaurus. His keratin-sheathed horns catch the fractured light as he stands sentinel over his painstakingly claimed territory—a small, still lake at its heart—awaiting the arrival of you.
