The Beasts Within 1/4

[@Big_Garf]

Walking with beasts and specifically this mini-doc included with the DVD were such an integral part of my childhood. This series started my love for evolution and history, and is a major part of where I am today. I'm 25 now, soon to be starting my masters, and everytime I watch this it reminds me why I love what I do and also how much time has passed since I was a kid haha! Thank you so much for uploading this, I appreciate it so much.

[@basilbrush9075]

Fantastic! What is the Masters in?

[@elsakristina2689]

The flashlight in the museum scene is so creepy!

[@Sean_Last1995]

Yeah if that actually happened I'd be freaked.

[@traktortarik8224]

Yeah that freaked me out as a kid

[@pedroguerrero3862]

Ya, just imagine you walking though there and then suddenly they start to move. That could be turn into a pretty interesting novel.

[@enriqueramirez0615]

Something straight out a "Night at the Museum" movie.

[@brendansunra]

Kept thinking something was gonna jump out. Bush baby maybe?

[@Foobie07]

0:39-1:07 Still one of the best theme songs ever.

[@adamzabielski3685]

Definitely the BEST theme of any documentary EVER!!!

[@ze_kangz932]

​@@adamzabielski3685 It's simply that epic. I'm still surprised it hasn't become a meme already.

[@gustavovazquez9026]

This whole episode was terrifying for me as a kid, the music and footage was quite disturbing.

[@brendansunra]

Agreed

[@gorgonops555]

Same, especially at that primate ancestor at 4:09 ugh, those beady black eyes

[@righthandstep5]

@toffee1617 I was terrified of this animal when I was 12. I constantly had to check my closet to make sure "there wasn't anything in there" e_e Just goes to show the BBC did a good job in animating this primate.

4:35 The Steropodon from the Walking With Dinosaurs episode No.5: Spirits Of The Ice Forest.

[@DanielCorpuz223]

Steropodon is more like a platypus or echidna in reality. Not sure why didn't they just used a chubby platypus

[@eddiethomas2etmaelstrom562]

@@DanielCorpuz223 3 very good reasons why they chose a Kawati over a platypus or anything else for that matter: 1. The males have deadly spurs that can harm and most likely kill a man 2. Seeing what gender they are wouldn’t be worth the risk of reason 1 3. Sticking a fake bill on a guinea pig or anything similar is basically animal cruelty

[@azaanimations319]

@@DanielCorpuz223Maybe because they’d be harder to get their hands on? Platypus seem to be quite difficult to keep in captivity.

[@righthandstep5]

it also doesn't help that when I first watched this series, let alone this episode of Walking with Beasts, I also had just finished watching that Planet of the Apes reboot from 2001 which also left me terrified of primates for a few months at the time.

[@adamzabielski3685]

So basically you're scared of yourself, considering humans are primates too

[@richardsorgo8600]

I'm suprised Resin 3D printing technology was around at the time.

[@kimberlyworley1916]

I have been learning about animals for a long time

[@Junketh71]

Actually, the average size of mammals began to decrease since the Miocene epoch; after it, the mammals began to shrink, and the end of the Pleistocene and the Ice Age just finished that process for good.

[@dinohermann1887]

The Oligocene and Miocene were the main peak for giant mammals! After that, yeah they went smaller!

[@stevenhale2935]

If you're trying to imply that humans didn't play a part in the extinctions at the end of the ice age, I'm afraid you're flying in the face of facts. Many of the habitats needed to support life such as mammoths, elasmotherium, smilodon, moa, glyptodon, giant sloths etc are still plentiful. The only difference is that humans migrated to their land often targetted large males when hunting, totally destabilising their ability to breed, or in some cases laying waste to the animals that they preyed upon.

I'm pretty sure Gallegos can see blues and yellows as well just like most other non primate mammals...rather than just black and white.

[@amberkelliher6555]

I'm genuinely surprised there are no religious arguments in the comment section.

[@Ghidorah96]

It’s good to know paleo-fans aren’t retarded and still religious

[@redhippopotamus9144]

@@Ghidorah96 While I am an atheist I know science says there's no correlation between religion and disability

[@sethelianamoodley3734]

That's because people like us don't follow religion... But the truth

[@eyewitnesslover7997]

i'm suprised they didn't talk about or even show the godinotia from episode 1

[@dinohermann1887]

Godinotia was probably the ancestor of all primates including us humans, but this is highly debatable!

[@isaacleillhikar4566]

It's contradictory to the narrator ;)

[@moatguy4471]

That's not what was bad for me. 11:03-14:54 I thought the talk about the monkeys would never end! It bored me so much! I was like "Alright, no more 'monkeying around'! Lets get to the next part!" :D

[@MrNoobomnenie]

Wait, they already had a 3D-printing back in 2001? TIL.

[@richardsorgo8600]

I know right (and especially Resin printing at that). Apparently 3D printing was first invented in the 1980's but was very cumbersome to utilise.

[@maxmantell5009]

It would’ve been cool if the show featured a gigantopithecus

[@dinohermann1887]

Big foot!!

[@t.wcharles2171]

Walking with cavemen another Walking with series has a gigantopithecus

[@elsakristina2689]

They have one in Walking With Cavemen but it’s only for a few seconds

[@jacktowers7533]

9:36 the fact they had 3D printing this sophisticated as early as 2001 is crazy

[@spinosaurus9518]

wait, if our eyes are front does that mean we were meant to climb trees and walk?

(4:24) Wallace character from Wallace and Gromet

[@vandacarneiro980]

OK.

[@guitarreilly]

the blue whale is the largest animal that ever lived and its still alive

[@TMR_DVL]

Jack Reilly not true. You forgot about Argentinosaurus.

[@camacakegd3714]

@@TMR_DVL argentinosaurus size estimates range from smaller than a blue whale to just a bit larger, and those larger size estimates are considered to be unlikely

[@Velocisaurusman]

Uhhh, at the beginning there was the part where the primate videos (3:34) there was a paleontologist

[@ShadeSerpent]

Dr Robert D. Martin sounds a bit like Christopher Lee.

[@ToriaTx]

Ya know I went the walking with beasts website and I saw a page for australian fossils and it said somethin bout a fossil species of marsupial called the tingamarra and then it occured to me I wondered what in lord's name wuz that pouched spotted skunk's descendant a quoll I mean is the tingamarra even the quoll's closest ancestor I mean they look the same and eat the same things sort of but what is the tingamarra's closest descendant huh ?

[@Powerranger-le4up]

Frankly, the reason why we humans have become so successful is because of our soul which allows us the ability to quickly adapt.

[@brendansunra]

And because we can develop tools and equipment to survive in environments we would never endure unaided.

[@jeremyconnor414]

Please do more walking with beasts

[@61btod]

Does anyone know if the music from 3:10 to 3:50 can be found anywhere else?

[@ultimate_animal_showdown]

If you think these megafauna gone extinct such as mammoths because of people where do you think elephants come from :/

[@luigi1456]

In the last episode it explained that elephant ancestors that went up north adapted to the cold , but its not a stretch to imagine elephants that we have today living in other places that weren't as cold.

[@ultimate_animal_showdown]

luigi1456 oh I did not see that part thx for telling
