Summary

Brings the extraordinary animals of prehistory to life, using the latest in digital technology. Take a journey through the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous worlds to discover giant predatory reptiles lurking in the seas, pterosaurs the size of small planes soaring through the skies, and colossal dinosaurs striding over the land. Meet the monstrous mammals that cam next, such as the saber-toothed Smilodon and the wooly mammoth. Computer-generated imagery reveals the scales, spikes, teeth, and talons of these curious creatures
