Summary

Combining all the magic of television’s special effects with contributions from the world’s leading scientists, these two programmes trace the evidence that enabled scientists to understand so much about these mysterious creatures from a long-forgotten world.

Cameras take viewers behind the scenes to see science in the making and scientists come face to face with the beasts they have uncovered. Using the same computer graphic effects as the series itself, prehistoric creatures roam modern-day museums and digsites where scientists explain the research behind the series.
