- Paleontologists speculate that some dinosaurs were pack hunters. The discovery of a fossil site containing several deinonychus and a much larger herbivore provide a prime opportunity to evaluate this hypothesis.
- A chance discovery leads to a paleontologist's gold mine, an trove of several dinosaur fossils including a large percentage of rare predators. As scientist piece together what happened at the site they gain clues to dinosaur hunting and family behavior.
- A Paleontologist discovers the fossils of an previously unknown armored herbivore with a carnivore nearby. Jurassic Fight Club simulates what the encounter between these two animals might have been like.
- Receding glaciers in North America brought together many animals competing for the same food source including two apex predators; the largest bear and cat that ever existed. Paleontologists believe they occasionally fought one another. Jurassic Fight Club weighs their relative advantages and disadvantages in such a fight then pits then against each other in simulated combat.
- Profiles five apex predators; allosaurus, utahraptor, majungatholus, albertasaurus and tyrannosaurus rex then contrasts their likely hunting styles.
- The tail of a giant herbivorous edmontosaurus and the body of a tiny raptor is mysterious for what is missing. how could raptors kill the edmontosaurus and if they did what happened to the rest of the skeleton? If a larger animal killed the edmontosaurus why was the tail left behind and why is a dead raptor near by? Paleontologists propose a plausible story.
- This episode profiles Majungasaurus, the top predator on the Island of Madagascar seventy million years ago. Based on bite marks on the skeleton of one animal paleontologists believe one Majungasaurus killed and cannibalized the other. The scientists offer explanations why.
- Paleontologists look to modern day mass deaths to help determine what killed the herd of pachyrhinosaurus found in a fossil field in Alberta Canada.
- The Jurassic brought a pair of ceratosaurus and an allosaurus, two Apex predators, together and they didn't like each other. Jurassic Fight Club profiles the two competitors before letting them face off in a battle symbolic of which animal would dominate the remainder of the Jurassic.
- Explains the tragedy an opportunity of mass extinctions then simulates the events before, during and after the chicxulub impact.
- As an apex predator Tyrannosaurus Rex seems invulnerable to attack. So the discovery of the fossil of a juvenile T-Rex with multiple broken bones made paleontologists wonder, what killed it.
- Fifteen million years in the past two giant carnivores prowled the oceans; the sperm whale and megalodon, a giant shark. As competitors with different lifestyles they did not peacefully coexist. Jurassic Fight Club simulates an encounter between megalodon and a pod of sperm whales.
