Chapters
⏰ 4 Sections:
Section 1: The Dinosaur's Shadow: We establish the Late Cretaceous world, where giant dinosaurs ruled the land while diverse, powerful crocodilians dominated the planet's waterways.
Section 2: The Day the Sky Fell: We chronicle the Chicxulub asteroid's impact and the cascading global catastrophes—the firestorm, the acid rain, and the deadly "impact winter."
Section 3: The Cold-Blooded Advantage: We analyze the crocodilian "survival toolkit," investigating how their slow metabolism, freshwater habitat, and generalist diet made them uniquely resilient.
Section 4: Inheriting the Waterways: We watch the survivors emerge into a new, empty world, diversifying and cementing their 66-million-year reign as the ultimate apex predators of the water.
