This six-part, 2003 BBC production of "Prehistoric America" follows the success of the BBC's previous series "Walking with Dinosaurs," by employing digital imagery and other high tech effects to explore North America's distant past. This remarkable series is highly informative while also being highly entertaining.



Each episode focuses on a specific region of the North American continent:

1. "Land of the Mammoth" [northern]

2. "Canyonlands" [western]

3. "Ice Age Oasis" [Florida]

4. "Edge of the Ice" [Pacific northwest]

5. "Mammoths to Manhattan" [eastern]

6. "American Serengeti" [great plains]



Episode 6: American Serengeti



This final episode of the series is set on the great plains of America. By chance, a cave in the Wyoming area became a natural trap for thousands of post-ice-age animals, preserving their skeletal remains after the species itself had become extinct or evolved into something different. These remains provide a veritable treasure trove for the scientific study of the life in the great plains 13,000 years ago. Among the amazing animals seen in this episode are coyotes and wolves, cheetas and lions, camels, extinct horses, giant wolves, giant bears (twice the size of today's grizzly bears), great herds of bison, and mastadons
