It’s so cool to see the commentary on a theory in its infancy that now has so much evidence to support it and is widely accepted as fact. Science forever.

The narrator has the weirdest pronunciation of “saur/s” I’ve ever heard.

Mrs. Morris would get smashed in the back of the carriage.

This is great stuff.

In the scene where the two Deinonychus chase down and kill the Struthiomimus, I have this fantasy where they're a mated pair who sympathized with the Hadrosaurs for losing most of their eggs as they know how precious offspring are so they sought to help them out by avenging their unborn hatchlings by ending the life of their killer while getting a meal in the process. While it isn't realistic, it's a nice fantasy to have to show that even those who look scary can have noble hearts.

"They were gloriously varied creatures. Some striding boldly along on four legs, others skimming the ground on two. Some were hot-blooded. Many were gregarious and social. They travelled far and wide, armed and ready to do battle for food, or to die in defence of their young." Ya know, whenever I feel sad about the Dinos passing, this quote gives me a smile.

Que buenos recuerdos se me vinieron a la mente, que chingoneria de documental.

I haven’t watched this since one time in 1985, 39 years ago! It has crossed my mind often.

12:19 this line has been burned into my brain since I was an infant.

2:46 Kathy: I´ve always walked around looking at the ground. (proceeds to look at the infinit and think about every choice she made) ... 🤣 that expression and jaw movement at the end... just amazing. 2:48

Thank you so much!!!♥️☮️🥰‼️🙋‍♀️

Excelent Documentary...

Fantastic documentary. Thank you

Hah, that scene of Bob holding those pebbles in his hands to demonstrate his theory is super nostalgic.

Oh man, I had this series. I haven't thought of it in YEARS.

David Alexovich did do a Wonderful Job with creating the animation sequences of the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous Dinosaurs.

Man not just animation and style being the best even now, but the music is so good too. This series was a core memory for me and I couldn't remember the name or how to find it. Thank you so much for uploading a piece of my childhood

These are great, thanks for posting these!

my paleontologist professor sent the whole class to this video. it's linked in our homework folder online. so you are going to get a bunch of folks.

14:28 And this is where the issue is. There are no dinosaur fossils in or above the Iridium layer, only below. Thus, the dinosaurs were dead already when the asteroid hit.

We got this on TV in Australia with our own narrator. Weird to hear it with thjs American accent, but I absolutely loved it. Thank you so much ❤

I read Dr Baker’s Book “The Dinosaur Heresies.” I wish this program had explored his theories that Triceratops could gallop like a horse. Imagine that - a thirty ton Triceratops galloping at a T-Rex, shield down, horns out! The impact would have sent T-Rex flying….

i know this is old but... my heart is in my throat when they walked along that cliffside without ropes or any basic safety gear.

This is dated now but it sure was one of my favorites when it came out, watched many times.

The telling of the story about Waterhouse Hawkins and the first dinosaur sculptures is nice but that's not quite how it happened. It's true the Crystal Palace was built for the Great Exhibition in Hyde Park when all those people came to visit, but the dinosaurs only came along several years later when the Palace was dismantled and rebuilt in a suburb of South London as part of a kind of amusement park, which lasted until the 1930s. The whole area is now called Crystal Palace as a result - hence the football team of the same name.

All of this has been burned into my brain haha

I used to have this on VHS as a kid and I'd watch it often along side Godzilla and other monster and dinosaur movies. The music from the intro alone brings back such lovely memories. Not to mention this documentary series has the best animated dinosaurs I've ever seen.

TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE ,

THE FALLEN ANGELS CREATED THE FIRCE MEAT EATING THRU DNA MODIFICATION,, THATS PART WHY GOD FLOODED THE EARTH TO RID OF ALL EVIL ,,

LIES EN MORE LIES, GOD CREATED THE EARTH EN ALL, LESS THAN 8000 YES AGO, YOU PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHAT MILLION IS,

Thanks for adding this! I used to watch this one all the time with my son when he was young.

Hi I’m a T-Rex

I used to watch this so many times as a kid! And as a 34 years old still fascinated by paleontology and dinosaurs I'm so happy to have found it! Thank you so much for the upload!

I had this on vhs as a kid in the 90s and I watched it until it would not play anymore. I never thought i would see this again. The soundtrack hit place buried deep in my brain lol.

Alvarez doesn't get enough credit, both the dad and son, they deserve so much.

The crazy thing about the asteroid is it hot in relatively shallow water, and the earth has many parts of the ocean that's very deep, if it hit in deep ocean it still would've been catastrophic but maybe not as much dust that blotted out the sun, that was the last straw, maybe for months or years, nothing grows.

Some time in the distant future after were gone, the will be new creatures, maybe intelligent ones with different biology than humans, we might be dug up and studied from archeologists of that era.

This documentary is about 30 years old. I've seen so many dinosaur documentaries since. This one just has a certain magic to it which still makes it one of the best.

1:21 wow it was a woman who discovered dinosaurs, proof that the science has been too male-centric. My whole life I heard it was a man.

Better than my vhs I think the quality has been remastered too

51:51 Sadly, the heroic mother Barosaurus protecting her baby from an Allosaurus has since been retconned into just a random Barosaurus inadvertently protecting a juvenile sauropod of a different species called Kaatedocus from the Allosaurus.

39:17 that's a huge lie. most real scientists assumed they acted like crocodiles and alligators which not only have nests they take care of their young. It's impossible for evolutionists to speak without lying.

13:30. But the speed determined by the TIME, can you just scale up the normal speed by measuring the enlarged stride. Even so, your Normal Speed must be determined by TIME, again, of real galloping. So, i think all this about the Reasonable Guess !?! or sound Estimation, at most !?!

Fossil/Bones hunter as a Career of fortune ?? Big business.!?! I ve heard a rather complete bone set, could be sold as high as (several) thousands dollars ?? Anyway, you can't expect to find them everyday. Just like a lottery winner !?!

I wish i have making time machine so i be making muuch sex on big dinosaur

Sucky sucky $10! Me, do u, no.1 sucky!

When Prehistoric Planet came out earlier this year, and showed sauropods with inflatable air sacs on their necks strutting around like modern sage grouse, I thought that it was pretty forward-thinking to depict them like that. Maybe a little speculative, but in 2022 we know that dinosaurs were very birdlike, it's in vogue to depict them with all kinds of soft tissues and doing all kinds of weird behaviors that birds do today. I just rewatched this documentary for the first time in a VERY long time... listen closely in the animated stegosaur segment. At 42:57, as it peeks around the tree, you'll hear the stegosaur make the sound of a male sage grouse bopping its air sacs together. This documentary was literally decades ahead of its time.

A treasure.

Thank you so much for uploading this video, i last saw this in the early 90s in elementary on vhs 📼 Brings back fun memories

Where does one find the stupid hats that paleontologists wear?
