- CuriosidadesThe 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.

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.
- Versiones alternativasThe Discovery Channel broadcast edits all six episodes into one program, splicing in the documentaries Caminando entre las Bestias: El Triunfo de las Bestias (2001) and The Beasts Within (2001), and is narrated by Stockard Channing. In addition, many scenes of gore and sex have been removed.

It's a live-action documentary in six parts, ranging from the meteor that extirpated the dinosaurs up to the Ice Ages. The Cenozoic Era, largely overlooked, but most important in shaping today's fauna (including us!)--much more relevant than The Big Show that was the dinosaur period.
The most interesting sequences are on the giant animals of South America, the development of whales, and the battles for control of land between the survivors of the apocalypse at the end of the Cretaceous period (parts 5, 2, and 1, if I remember correctly).
This was produced by the BBC, following its big success with Walking with Dinosaurs. It's got the same mix of imagined local filmed drama, a la Wild Kingdom, with some basic paleontological exposition. The live action stuff is mostly realistic and there seems to have been considerable research on the backdrop. Each part is based on the fossil records of a particular location. I doubt this sequel was such a big hit, but for the reasons I've suggested above (and the general unfamiliarity of what you'll see), probably more valuable and educational.
