Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaPaleontology aficionados have viewed the series as a spiritual successor to Walking with Dinosaurs (1999). Ironically, David Attenborough refused to do the narration on Walking with Dinosaurs (1999) because he was unwilling to support a fictitious wildlife documentary at the time. Attenborough has since changed his view leading to his work here.
- GoofsThroughout the series, dromaeosaur dinosaurs (aka "raptors") are depicted with their long wing feathers lining the entire length of their arms, but most fossilized feather impressions show these feathers would have only extended to their elbows and not their upper arms.

Featured review
Absolutely gorgeous!!
I am a forever fan of dinosaurs and actually paid for a majority of my college degree by doing paleoart for the geology department at my university. As a Paleoartist, I can truthfully say that this is one of the most beautiful and awe inspiring shows I have seen in a while. Everything from the movements to the colorations, to the perfect placement of filaments on the dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals is incredible !! I am blown away by the attention to detail.
Now for a little critique. Part of a Paleoartist job is to make educated guesses about what prehistoric life may have looked like. So, I understand firsthand what it means to get a little creative and loose with some of the interpretation of the fossil evidence. That being said I do feel that some of the interpretations seem to take creative license a little too far.
With paleoart, you do the best you can with the info you have .. then 10 years later they uncover more data and prove your art needs updating. I mean, look at the appearance of a spinosaurus even from 2005- now. So I guess In conclusion, I love love love this show. Is it 100% correct ?? Probably not, but it's beautiful to behold. This is a Paleoartist's dream come true.
