Wissenswertes
The great flightless bird Gastornis, which is presented as a fierce top-predator in the show's first episode, was actually omnivorous, eating mostly plants and nuts. Its portrayal as a fearsome carnivore is unsubstantiated. The filmmakers were aware of the debate about the bird's diet, but chose to go with the predatory hypothesis, reasoning that its beak was far too robust and strong for just eating nuts. However, Gastornis' beak was not hooked like the beaks of most predatory birds and it also lacked sharp claws. Chemical analysis of its fossil bones post-2010 also found no trace of meat in its diet.

Zitate
[Last lines.]
Kenneth Branagh: [narrating] We have since built museums to celebrate the past, and spend decades studying prehistoric lives. And if all this has taught us anything, it is this: no species lasts forever.

Alternative Versionen
The Discovery Channel broadcast edits all six episodes into one program, splicing in the documentaries Triumph of the Beasts (2001) and The Beasts Within (2001), and is narrated by Stockard Channing. In addition, many scenes of gore and sex have been removed.

Misstep in storytelling

Tim Haines made a real misstep in this sequel to Walking With Dinosaurs, in that he made the doc too much of a story, and not enough of a documentary. The smilodon segment, especially, seemed contrived, with the two "brothers" and a lone warrior smilodon named "Half-Tooth." They also take too many great pains to have the animals reacting to the camera.

On the other hand, the evolution of man is nicely done - and I strong recommend the Discovery Channel documentary Neanderthal as a companion piece.

Speaking of Discovery, once again they make a hash of the documentary, editing out the rougher scenes, and intercutting the Making Of... into it as well. Stockard Channing sounds robotic as the narrator as well.

I strongly suggest getting the DVD, which retains all the BBC UK stuff intact.
