Favourite Beast?
What was your favourite beast? Mine was that giant sloth.
This is more depressing than the Walking with Dinosaurs Boards. Not a single thread, save for this one.
Helloo? Anyone home?

I have to say the Hyenadon's.
The giant warthog guy's were cool as well, and the big armadillo guys.

My favourite beasts would have to be: Andrewsarchus, Entelodon, Hyaenodon, Ambulocetus, Giant Ground Sloth, Gastornis, Leptictidium, and Smilodon.
shareProbably because I have always been fascinated by underwater footage,I have to say the Basilosaurus..that whole episode was amazing, especially when the female was forced into the mangrove swamps in search of food. Very well done series.
I happened to see the last half of another episode of a BBC series recently, also narrated by Kenneth Branaugh, that seemed to be about Pre-Triassic life on earth. This covered the period when life was confined to the ocean and starting to spread onto land. There were giant scorpions that lived underwater and preyed on spawning fish in the episode.
This would seem to be a third series, similar to Walking With Dinosaurs...but set millions of years previous...anyone else see this?
I spent my whole life trying not to be careless. Women and children can be careless. But not men.

Was it called 'Chased by Dinosaurs'? Um...'Chased by Sea Monsters'...something like that. I think I know what you're talking about. Did it have anything called something along the lines of an Orthnocone in it? A big squid-like thing?

I searched the entire world to find what I already have.
I liked the Macrauchenia best. Sort of a cross between an antelope and a shrew. Hell of a nose they had!
shareMy favourite beasts that weren't featured on the show are: Megalania (a 7-meter komodo dragon), Megistotherium (a 6-meter relative of Hyaenodon), oh yeah I forgot about Deinotherium-it was featured in WWB-the giant elephant with the forward facing-tusks.
shareMammuthus Primigenius. Mammoths have always fascinated me. And next comes the Basilosaurus.
shareI think BBC did an absolutely excellent job on the mammoths.

Yeah. Great job on the fur, especially considering it's about 1 m long in the winter scenes.
War is simply the continuing of diplomacy through other means
True enough.

This is a very difficult question, because the stars and co-stars in all the episodes are all superstars!!!
Lets see. I love cats, so my favorite has to be Smilodon. Indricotherium is also underrated. Well, he's neither the biggest mammal nor the biggest terrestrial animal, but the biggest terrestrial mammal, so what can you say!!!...I also love the birds...Imagine walking into a Gastornis or a Phorusrhacos....though it's a massive shame that didn't do Argentavis Magnificens!!!!....o and we all love the Megathrium, Megaloceras and the Mammoth...so i'm throwing in the towel!!!!!!
Anyway, as with all the "walking with..." boards, see you at the next ice age....
