Monsters We Met is a documentary produced by the BBC and later aired on Animal Planet in 2004 (under the title, Land of Lost Monsters). The show used computer-generated imagery to recreate the life of the giant animals that lived during the last ice age and explains how early humans encountered them. It also features humans as the main reason to the extinction of all great animals. It was narrated by Ian Holm.

Episodes

Episode 1: Eternal Frontier (America, 11,000 years ago)

It starts with mammoths living during the Ice Age. It also shows how humans became top predators and started hunting mammoths. We also had to compete with other predators like the Short-faced Bear and the Saber-toothed cats. We destroyed them by depleting their food supply, and making them starve to death.

Episode 2: The Burning (Australia, 65,000 years ago)

It starts by showing how humans migrated to Australia. We also hunted the native wildlife. We encountered the huge birds and the giant lizard, megalania. The reptiles kill two humans and they plan on burning the fields to kill the giant lizard. We then start to colonize other people.

Episode 3: The End Of Eden (New Zealand, AD 1280)

It starts with humans populating New Zealand. We encounter the giant moa. We start to see it was harmless. We then discover Haast's eagle, which hunts moas and starts to target us. We then start to steal the moa's giant eggs and go after the adults for food. We then realize we brought a huge amount of animals to extinction. The program ends with us in space and starts to ask the question that if we can't live with these monsters, are we not monsters ourselves.
