| Summary: | Walking with dinosaurs: Using the latest scientific findings, Walking with dinosaurs examines the 155-million-year history of these great creatures, from the aggressive Coelophysis, the first animal to hunt in a pack, to Tyrannosaurus 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 flap of his powerful wings. Allosaurus: In 1991, the most complete allosaurus skeleton ever was discovered in Wyoming and fondly nicknamed "Big Al." Through careful excavation and restoration, scientists have pieced together a detailed biography of this one dinosaur. Using the same computer graphics and animatronics techniques that amazed viewers all over the world in Walking with dinosaurs, this program vividly recreates the 15 years from Al's birth to his untimely demise. In Big Al uncovered, Al haunts modern-day museums and dig sites as scientists explain how they picked up clues and traced the evidence of one dinosaur's life story. Walking with prehistoric beasts: When the dinosaurs disappeared from the Earth, they did not leave an empty planet behind them. A succession of extraordinary creatures came and went over the following millennia. The award-winning team behind Walking with dinosaurs and Allosaurs invites you to take a trip to this amazing new world. Here, flightless 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. |
