Benjamin Bartlett - Battle of the Salt Plains

Benjamin Bartlett - "Battle of the Salt Plains" from the BBC TV series The Ballad of Big Al. This really reminds me of something by Hans Zimmer such as Gladiator or Pirates of the Caribbean. Pump up the volume! All rights reserved, no infringement intended.

[@flightlesslord2688]

Did you ever the tragedy of Big Al the allosaurus? I thought not, it's not a story creationists would tell you. It a palaeontological legend...

[@generalkenobianimations]

He was a carnivore of the theropods, so large and so dangerous, he could use the other allosaurus to influence the diplodocus herd to become... *food.*

[@generalkenobianimations]

@TYRANNOSAURIDCENTRAL The carnivorious side of the theropods is a pathway to many meals some condier to be, large...

[@generalkenobianimations]

@TYRANNOSAURIDCENTRAL He became so hungry, eventually the only thing he was afraid of was, dieing of starvation... which he eventually did. Unfortunatley, the other infant allosaurs were going to eat anything they found, they ate him at his grave. Ironic. He could cause other dinosaurs to become food, and so himself.

I was being baby sat by a friend of the family and was very sick that day so they put on WWD for me and I was surprised to see this episode because I didn’t have it in my VHS collection. I legit though I hallucinated watching it. Until one day someone gave me the DVD collection that included it with Beasts.

[@gabethedinosaur95]

I remember watching it at age 7 myself and I loved it so much. And then I got walking with dinosaurs on vhs and I absolutely loved those series and they were so well done

[@jamiehughes5573]

[@nagaking07]

In spite of some outdated information and a few effects that don't hold up especially well, the BBC documentaries among the best prehistoric life documentaries, mostly because they treat the animals like animals, and don't try too hard to anthropomorphize them. Even in this one, the story it tells isn't unlike the one you'd see in nature. I'd love to see BBC remake these with more updated information and effects.

[@maxtube444]

It’s not a remake, and it’s not by BBC, but Prehistoric Planet looks to be something like that

[@bruthgunner3238]

I feel so bad for Al, I was about 5-6 when I first saw the entire "Walking With" franchise, I have the entire package until my mom took my 6th disc, "Walking With Cavemen" she won't give it back til I'm 18, I'm 15 now and it got taken when I was 6. When it came to the last episode of "Walking With Dinosaurs" I cried for hours because I hated to see the Dinosaurs die out. and with the episode in "Walking With Beasts" episode "Gentle Giants" I cried when the mother had to chase her three year old calf away to ensure the survival of her soon to be newborn. My older cousin ran into my room and asked why I was crying and I told her about the indricothere's. Remember guys I was about 5 or 6 when I saw these. Yes I know close to almost everything about Dinosaurs, life before during and after the dinosaurs. if you have a question feel free to ask,but remember, I don't know everything about Prehistory
