Walking With Beasts

The death of the dinosaurs did not mean the demise of life on Earth. In the wake of the meteor strike that wiped out the dinosaurs came a succession of the most extraordinary creatures ever to inhabit the planet - bizarre beasts who adapted and evolved in the fiercest climate extremes the world had ever seen. Now you can watch them walk, hunt, breed and fight in this unique presentation of the much-acclaimed BBC series WALKING WITH BEASTS. Combining classic natural history techniques with the most imaginative use of computer-generated graphics and animatronics ever seen on television, a multi-award winning production team take you on a journey through time to explore the rise of the mammals and mankind itself.

Come face to face with the bizarre forerunners of animals we know today - not just the familiar woolly mammoth but a walking whale, a carnivorous pig and a horse no bigger than a cat. And meet the apelike humans - tree-living and social but the favoured prey of sabre toothed cats with teeth the size of carving knives.

Packed with stunningly realistic 'footage', WALKING WITH BEASTS reveals the rich variety of life before, during and after the Ice Am in eye-opening detail and with a fine sense of drama.
