- Life Before Dinosaurs) is a three-part Britishdocumentary film series about life in the Paleozoic, bringing to life extinct arthropods, fish,amphibians, synapsids, and reptiles.[1] As with previous Walking with... installments, it is narrated by Kenneth Branagh, and by Avery Brooks in the American version. Using state-of-the-art visual effects, this prequel to Walking with Dinosaurs shows an epic 300 million year war between creatures before the dinosaurs. The series draws on the knowledge of over 600 scientists and depicts Paleozoic history, from the Cambrian Period (530 million years ago) to the Early Triassic Period (248 million years ago). It was written and directed by Tim Haines. As with some of the other BBC specials, it was renamed in North America, where its title was Before the Dinosaurs: Walking with Monsters. It has also aired as a two-hour special on the Canadian and American Discovery Channel with yet another narrator. At the 58th Primetime Emmy Awards in 2006 it won the Emmy Award in the
What else can I help you with?
What would be the main things people would like to see in the cretaceous period?
The dinosaurs of course!(:
What type of animal is a gharial?
A Ghariel has evovled from the Dinosaurs from the Cretaceous period and it still look like it did then
How was the cretaceous period different from the Jurassic period?
The Cretaceous period followed the Jurassic period and lasted from about 145 million to 66 million years ago. In the Cretaceous period, flowering plants became more dominant, dinosaurs continued to diversify, and large marine reptiles like mosasaurs thrived. However, the end of the Cretaceous period marked by a mass extinction event where dinosaurs and many other species went extinct.
Did the daintree exist in the time of the dinosaurs?
Not sure what a "daintree" is, but coniferous trees, like pines shared the dinosaurs' world and indeed, were a major food source for them. During the last period, the Cretaceous, the hardwoods like oaks and beeches appeared.
In which era did dinosaurs appear and die out?
The fossil records for dinosaurs end during the late Cretaceous period. This means that their numbers dwindled so low as to not leave fossil evidence. Their true extinction most like followed quickly. This is picky, I admit, but since you asked what ERA ended the dinosaurs, I suppose you should have the answer. They died out at the end of the Mesozoic Era (which was, as noted above, also the end of the Cretaceous Period). However, many scientists no classify birds as dinosaurs, in which case they never fully became extinct.
What is a caenagnathid?
A caenagnathid is a member of the Caenagnathidae, a family of bird-like dinosaurs of the late Cretaceous period, native to North America and Asia.
What was the environment like in the cretaceous compared to today?
the environment during the cretaceous period was warm with ice-free poles. Back then, there were mostly dinosaurs roaming the earth, but other mammals we see today were starting to appear.
What was the dominant animal of the cretaceous period?
Early Paleozoic is pretty long time, so you have to be more specific about that. Probably one of the most dominant creatures that ever evolved was Anomalocaris (from Cambrian period). Most of the animals from that time couple of inches long, while Anomalocaris was 2 meters long. Also giant scorpions, like world famous Jaekelopterus rhenaniae were also top predators of it's days.
What kind of food can you eat in the cretaceous period?
In the Cretaceous Period, small things like Ginkgos could be edible, and common things you could find along elongated coastlines, such as shellfish, and even small breeds of fish. (I am not positive they were in the Cretaceous Period) You could also eat small ferns, as they could be weak if they were young, and provide a tasty tea when boiled.
How long was the age of a raptor?
The term "raptor" typically refers to birds of prey or, in a paleontological context, to theropod dinosaurs like Velociraptor. Dinosaurs, including raptors, existed during the Mesozoic Era, specifically from the late Jurassic to the end of the Cretaceous period, approximately 150 to 66 million years ago. The age of these dinosaurs lasted for several million years, with raptors being prominent in the late Cretaceous period just before their extinction.
What kind of dinosaurs live in the mesozoic era?
The Mesozoic era is divided into three periods Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous. During the early Triassic, corals appeared. Seed plants dominated the land, in the northern hemisphere, conifers flourished. Glossopteris was the dominant southern hemisphere tree during the Triassic period. Many new dinosaurs appeared during the Jurassic period. Giant plant eating dinosaurs dominated the Earth. carnivores such as Allosaurus and Composognathus were plentiful. Many bird-like dinosaurs also thrived during this period. The Cretaceous period saw the heyday of the dinosaurs. Many new species of dinosaurs evolved during this period. New dinosaurs such as, the deadly t-rex and the extremely large Giganotosaurus appeared for the first time as did Triceratops and many others.
How big were crocodiles when dinosaurs were around?
Massive! Huge! Deinosuchus was a crocodile in the Cretaceous period was 36 feet long (12 meters) and wieghed 3000 kilograms. It ate fish and even dinosaurs like parasolophus, jumping out of the water to catch them.
