Why the American East Coast is a prehistoric lost world

We often search for famous species like Triceratops in the American West, but the East Coast holds a different story. This video explores how geology and evolution combined to create a unique landscape of strange, forgotten dinosaurs.

The absence of iconic dinosaurs in places like Central Park is not a coincidence. Instead, the intersection of evolutionary history and geological processes has left the East Coast populated by a distinct group of ancient creatures. Among these lesser-known species is Anchisaurus, a dinosaur that reached lengths of approximately 6 feet.
