Walking with Dinosaurs
Take the ultimate journey back in time to the reign of the dinosaurs! Narrated by Kenneth Branagh, this expanded video edition contains fascinating additional material not included in the Discovery Channel broadcast, giving you the most comprehensive and exciting view of prehistoric life ever created. Examine the 155-million-year history of these great creatures, from the aggressive Coelophysis, who first learned to hunt in packs, to T-Rex, the most terrifying carnivore on the planet. Feel the ground tremble as dueling Triceratops lock horns. And soar with Ornithocheirus, who could travel over 300 miles on a single wing flap. State-of-the-art digital effects and animatronics combine to form living, breathing images that put you in the scene of a virtual lost world. Walking with Prehistoric Beasts
Continue forward through time on unforgettable journey into the world that existed after the dinosaurs died off 65 million years ago. Meet the extraordinary creatures that inherited the Earth and see how they battled to survive. Fantastic beasts roamed the planet – from miniature horses to eight-foot-tall birds to giant pigs – as well as the more familiar sabretooth cats and woolly mammoths. There was even a land mammal that stood four times the size of a modern day elephant! Photographs shot on location around the globe combine with cutting-edge digital technology and animatronics to re-create a strange and wonderful world. Plus, paleontological experts contribute the latest scientific thinking, revealing little known facts and suppositions about these ancient animals.
Allosaurus: A Walking with Dinosaurs Special
Watch as the Walking with... special effects team brings a huge Jurassic carnivore to life – the fearsome Allosaurus, one of the few carnivores that could stand toe-to-toe with T-Rex. In 1991, a complete fossil skeleton of a male Allosaurus – named "Big Al" – was found in Wyoming. Relive his prehistoric life, from his hatching to his premature death. Written in Al's bones is the story of a life filled with hardship and pain. But none of his broken bones were the cause of his death – his body was perfectly intact, not even touched by scavengers. So, how did he die? Delve into the mystery of "Big Al" as scientists piece together this prehistoric detective case.
