Jurassic Fight Club (titled Dinosaur Secrets in Australia/UK) is a paleontology-based television series on History channel which premiered in the USA in July 2008. Jurassic Fight Club was hosted by George Blasing, a self-taught paleontologist. The show ran for one season of 12 episodes and was not renewed.
Scientists study the battles of prehistoric creatures, such as dinosaurs, before they became extinct. Each episode features a forensic-styled breakdown of a prehistoric battle. Based on fossil evidence and paleontologic analysis, a computer-generated imagery rendering of the battle, based on the evidence and the imagination of George Blasing (the show's host) is the final act of each episode. In most cases, the battles are based on actual fossil finds, although in several episodes, scientists simply pit two contemporaneous prehistoric animals against each other.
The Jurassic Fight Club game, Turf Wars, can be found on history.com. Playing as one of six dinosaurs, skills are used to defeat the other five. Cheat codes can make players invincible, access special attacks, etc. These dinosaurs are featured in battle order with status:
