Sixty-five million years ago, the dinosaurs disappeared from the Earth. But they did not leave an empty planet behind them. A succession of extraordinary creatures came and went over the following millennia. How much do we really know about these fascinating beasts?
The team behind Walking with Dinosaurs and Allosaurus invites you to take a trip through a strange new world where flightless terror birds as tall as a man kill with a single snap of their powerful beaks. Early ancestors of man struggle for power and territory as they try to defend themselves from the famous saber-toothed tiger. And even the saber-tooth cannot take on the Glyptodon - the massive two-ton armadillo that is the most heavily armored mammal ever. (official distributor synopsis)

English The BBC series came with another journey to where Karel Zeman took me in his Journey into the Primeval Times, and I really enjoyed it again. I'm not saying that I watched the individual episodes in silent awe, the creators only put into motion the illustrations that I had already known from my childhood books, but I was definitely satisfied.
