    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Was originally to be narrated by David Attenborough, but he turned down the part, unwilling to support a fictitious, fake wildlife documentary. He would later open up to documentaries of prehistoric wildlife where animals are brought to life via special effects, lending his voice to productions such as Flying Monsters 3D with David Attenborough (2011), David Attenborough's Natural History Museum Alive (2014) and the series Prehistoric Planet (2022), which many consider to be the successor to Walking with Dinosaurs (1999).
    • Goofs
      All throughout the show, animals are consistently misplaced in time. In reality, only very few of the depicted animals lived in the time their respective episodes take place in.
    • Alternate versions
      The original UK version, shown on BBC, and the US version, shown on Discovery Channel, differ in various aspects:
      • Kenneth Branagh does the narration for the UK version, Avery Brooks for the US version
      • UK version is presented in 6 episodes à 30 minutes, US version is shown as a 3-hour special
      • US version is cut for gore
    • Connections
      Edited from Black Rain (1989)
