Trivia

  1. The names of many animals on screen are not voiced. They can only be learned from the comments of scientific consultants and from additional materials provided by Netflix.
  2. This documentary mini-series is a spin-off of the 2023 project "Life on Our Planet." Moreover, some footage and models of prehistoric animals seen by viewers in "Life on Our Planet" are used here. There are, however, certain changes. The 3D model of the Edmontosaurus was made anew, and some errors in the Tyrannosaurus model in "Life on Our Planet" were corrected (for example, the number of teeth was reduced).
  3. When the Moon is shown in the part dedicated to the Triassic period (251.9 – 201.3 million years ago), the crater Tycho is absent from its lower part, because it appeared later – only in the Early Cretaceous period (145-100 million years ago).
