Prehistoric Earth: A Natural History 


DISC ONE: Walking With Monsters: Before the Dinosaurs
------------------
# "Program 1"
In the Cambrian Period about five hundred million years ago, life begins in Earth's oceans. Fish and arthropods begin the process of climbing onto land and evolving. New species such as reptiles and amphibians emerge.

# "Program 2"
Around 300 million years ago, in the Carboniferous Period, giant insects rule the land. The first large reptiles gradually begin to emerge later on.

# "Program 3"
Around 250 million years ago, in the Late Permian Period, reptiles that make up the precursors to dinosaurs gradually become the most dominant species on Earth, paving the way for their descendants.


DISC TWO: Walking With Dinosaurs
------------------
# "New Blood"
Around 220 million years ago, the first dinosaurs emerge. With new hipbones and legs that allow them to walk upright, they become the most dominant creatures on Earth.

# "Time of Titans"
Diplodocus, one of the longest dinosaurs ever recorded, rules the prairies of the Late Jurassic, about 152 million years ago, fighting for food with Stegosaurus and against getting eaten by Allosaurus.

# "The Cruel Sea"
During the Late Jurassic, about 149 million years ago, the seas are dominated by dangerous marine reptiles, including Liopleurodon, the largest carnivore in Earth's history.

# "Giant of the Skies"
The last flight of an Ornithocheirus as he leaves his feeding ground in South America to make his way to his mating ground in Europe some 127 million years ago, in the Early Cretaceous.

# "Spirits of the Ice Forest"
Around 106 million years ago, in the Early Cretaceous, unusual and extraordinary creatures make their home in the middle of the South Pole.

# "Death of a Dynasty"
Around 65 million years ago, in the Late Cretaceous, the dinosaurs hit their apogee with the rise of Tyrannosaurus Rex, the most fearsome killer in their history, but events beyond their control led to the end of their reign for good.


DISC THREE: Allosaurus
------------------
# "Allosaurus"
Follow the life and death of Big Al, an Allosaurus of the Late Jurassic, whose skeleton was found intact in Wyoming in 1991.


DISC FOUR: Walking With Prehistoric Beasts
------------------
# "New Dawn"
The reign of the dinosaurs comes to an end 49 million years ago and new species begin to emerge, chief amongst them giant birds and tiny mammals.

# "Whale Killer"
Two species, giant carnivorous whales and vicious sharks, battle for control of the oceans 36 million years ago.

# "Land of Giants"
Around 25 million years ago, Indricothere, the largest herbivorous mammal in history, rules the plains and is so huge as to be invulnerable to even the largest and fiercest predators.

# "Next of Kin"
Around 3.2 million years ago, Australopithecus, the first apes to walk upright, emerge in Africa and become the forerunners to human evolution.

# "Sabre Tooth"
A million years ago, the saber tooth cat migrates all over the planet and becomes the most feared predator on Earth.

# "Mammoth Journey"
Around 30,000 years ago, the great ice age forces creatures like the woolly mammoth and the woolly rhinoceros to migrate, even as Neanderthals hunt them for food.


DISC FIVE: Making of Walking With Prehistoric Beasts
------------------
# An extended look at how scientific research mixed with CGI and animatronics helped bring the prehistoric creatures to life.


DISC SIX: Walking With Cavemen
------------------
# "Episode 1"
Follow the history of human evolution, from Australopithecus to Homo Habilis.

# "Episode 2"
Follow the history of human evolution, from Homo Ergaster to Neanderthals and the beginnings of modern humans.
