Walking With Beasts (2001) Review

[@garchompy_1561]

Im amazed you didnt mention the nightmare fuel of the giant ant scene shits scary...

[@ryy695]

Garchompy _ I watched that as a 4 year old and that still haunts me at the age 15.

Garchompy _ that scene was very unnecessary and sad.

[@thetophatnerd2664]

WE DO NOT TALK ABOUT THE ANTS IN THIS COMMENT SECTION

[@t3chkn1ght]

Am I the only one who thinks that the opening theme for Walking with Beasts is badass.

[@d.h.c.4408]

No, in fact, I'm surprised he didn't bring the theme up. The human chanting getting progressively more present in the theme is a reflection of the series as a whole, and it's just so good IMO.

[@googley2668]

No my friend, u arent. the outro is even more badass. If theres one thing you cant criticise about Walking with Beasts, its the epic intro and outro.

[@petarmilich8684]

What Kenneth said at the end of the mammoth episode scared me as a kid.

[@rainer_uncrowned]

"No species lasts for ever" Coelocanth : Am I a joke to you?

[@1821-y6n]

The coelocanth group in general is not the same as an individual species.The coelocanth species alive today are not the same as those that lived in the past.If we humans keep existing for millions more years it will also be in the form of different species not Homo Sapiens.

[@justanallosaurus6997]

Antonios Bantras no but they are from the same lineage as they evolved from their primitive ancestors.

[@FireRayquaza24]

Antonios Bantras Highly unlikely that humans would look different a thousand or a million years from now than from today. Our newfound conscienceness as a species about how “everyone is equal”, the creation of governments/systems of law and overpopulation on earth prevent any advantage that isn’t intellectual from taking hold as a “staple of a human feature”. For example, hair was used to protect us from the cold. Nowadays, women are almost completely hairless aside from their head even in cold northern countries. In caveman times, they would die out so damn fast, leaving only hairy guys and girls left and creating a group of hair Canadians. But nowadays, that doesn’t happen. Completely negating any potential mutation that could give us an environmental advantage.

[@iMajoraGaming]

@@FireRayquaza24 Hair is borderline vestigial on an evolutionary scale. Saying that we aren't evolving is just blatantly false. The fact that we're at least *trying* recognize the fact that we're all the same species is part of evolving. Literally every advance in consciousness is evolution. We went from hunting and gathering to agriculture *because we're evolving.* Equality isn't some hinderance to evolution lmao Animals without sapience recognize that they're the same thing, that we ever stopped doing that was a regression caused by the fact that we developed complex social structures that were dominated by whoever had the idea to farm first. We went from not understanding that you could farm to building technology that put a human being on the fuckin m o o n. That's the product of evolution. People have demonstrable physical attributes changing. People are losing vestigial or fully redunant tendons. People are starting to sometimes not even develop wisdom teeth, and more people that do actually have them actually fit in their mouths. We have borderline no body hair because it no longer serves a purpose. Not only is the Earth not as cold as it was when we were big ol monkie bois, we have *clothes*. We have fire. We have heating.

[@FireRayquaza24]

iMajoraGaming building shit is not evolving. Bees and ants do that. Gorillas fight over territory just like we do. We are the same and will forever remain the same. Also I didn’t ready your whole message because I’m out partying. Happy New Years btw

@2:00 It seems you've forgotten that these aren't purely fictional creatures and are supposed to be real animals. Having different animals fill in a niche previously filled by other animals, especially under similar circumstances (ie. following a devastating mass extinction), is a very normal thing. This isn't like the writers were having to make things up entirely and were unoriginal about it, which your tone seems to suggest.

[@pedrocampos1787]

by-Ok.

[@VelociraptorsOfSkyrim]

Yes. But turning a herbivore into a carnivore to fit that niche in the story isn't great.

[@henry-thepizzaeater-morgan704]

I believe the first episode is called "new dawn" because that's what Eocene means in Greek.

[@pedrocampos1787]

[@Abominatrix650]

[@A113-p9e]

I don’t really blame Beasts for treading the same trail as Dinosaurs, mostly because of that’s pretty much how nature works. Look through the fossil records and you see it pretty much runs in cycles.

[@themattman9001]

5:15 Yo hol' up. Did you forget that the Basilo killed like 10~ Durodont pups to feed her baby? Yeah, I get it, the Basilo is our "protagonist," but she still performed A LOT of late term abortions to keep her ONE child alive. The ending isn't sad FOR HER, but I'd still call that a fairly dark outcome.

[@Abominatrix650]

Walking With Beasts is the Gold Standard for me. Not just in terms of the Walking With documentaries but documentaries in general! It's grand and wonderful! And I will love it forever!

[@Garryzilla]

Well heres three words to describe a chalicotherium panda gorilla horse because 1 they eat like pands 2 the walk like gorillas and 3 there related to horses.

[@LordVaderTyrannus]

Nice review, I agree with a lot, though the place I disagree is with Sabre Tooth. The way that the episode jacks off to Smilodon is a flaw rather then a virtue in my opinion. The way they portray phorusrachids as whimps is just wrong, they were very successful predators that could definitely fight and kill Smilodon. The legacy of the dinosaurs deserved better.

[@adamzabielski3685]

Well, phorusrhacids were driven to extinction by mammalian competition.

[@LordVaderTyrannus]

@@adamzabielski3685 No, they went extinct because of climate change.

[@HenrythePaleoGuy]

Indeed.

[@adamzabielski3685]

@@LordVaderTyrannus It has been suggested that the arrival of new mammalian predators from North America was a major contributor to their extinction. Before the Great American Interchange, there were no cats, bears and dogs living in North America and these were much more advanced than the few mammalian predators, like Thylacosmilus that were living with the terror birds. Suddenly, new predators arrive, some of them co-operating together to bring down prey or steal kills from other hunters, like terror birds

[@dkillryt]

Adam Zabielski that was the reason that thylacosmilus as well

[@gisforgrievous8859]

Walking with Beasts is my favorite of the series. Mammoth Journey was my favorite episode,I do agree that the first two episodes take time to pick up. Episodes 3-6 are fantastic.

I watched this show when I was either 6 or 9, out of morbid curiosity. I’m very happy that this show is getting some light again, and it’s also refreshing to suck back into these episodes. Have a nice day sir ^^

[@LuCa8_]

I disagree that they should of killed the baby basilosaurus because 1 they already did it in the episode before 2 if they did then you would be complaining that they just copied and pasted the brontotheir baby death. I mean I guess they could have killed the baby basilosaurus only if the baby brontotheriuk didn’t die so people wouldn’t complain as much.

[@darth856]

Hard to be objective with this one; so much nostalgia. Even just hearing the intro music again is great

[@gecko8621]

Mammoth journey is the only episode of walking with beasts with no child deaths

[@speedracer2008]

True, but the mammoth calves definitely get put in danger a few times in the episode, making you wonder if they'll survive. For me, the scene that most effectively conveys how much danger the baby mammoths are in as they go on their migration is the Neanderthal cliff hunt. The distressed trumpeting of the baby mammoths as they see the Neanderthals brandishing fire-tipped spears, combined with them trying to hide behind the adults for protection and the pounding drums of the soundtrack, really give you a sense of how much danger they're in. There's no narration in that scene, but the music and the trumpeting leave you in suspense as to whether the babies will come out of this hunt alive.

But seriously an ending could have been let that baby whale be borm and grow a bit....But then the competing whales kill it while it is still smallish. So even if they are small whales working together they eliminate a threat to their pods

Fun fact: it was actually supposed to come out first, with the idea of the Walking with... trilogy going back in time, but then the producers were like "uhhh yeah, start with dinosaurs first, their more popular, and Jurassic Park made a lot of money." Which I do think was the better decision over all.
